Abstract :
The Advanced Light Source (ALS) at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) is a 1.5-GeV synchrotron light source facility consisting of a 120 keV electron gun, 50 MeV linear accelerator 1.5 GeV booster synchrotron, 200 meter circumference electron storage ring, and many photon beamline transport systems for research. The Radiation Safety System for the ALS has been designed and built with a primary goal of providing protection against inadvertent personnel exposure to gamma and neutron radiation and secondarily, to enhance the electrical safety of select magnet power supplies
