The NSLS-II Beamline Radiation Shielding Policy has been stated as follows in reference 1: Radiation exposure to staff and users resulting from National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) operations must comply with Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and Department of Energy (DOE) radiation requirements and must be maintained as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). Per the Photon Sciences Shielding Policy (PS-C-ASD-POL-005), in continuously occupied areas during normal operation the dose rate is ALARA, and shall be < 0.5 mrem/h (based on occupancy of 2000 hours/year) or less than 1 rem in a year.
