Development of beamline radiation shielding hutch for Indus-2 synchrotron radiation source

摘要

Indus-2 is an electron synchrotron radiation source. The Synchrotron Radiation (SR) photons are transported to the experimental station through twenty-six beamlines. The radiation environment around the beamline mainly comprises of Bremsstrahlung Radiation (BR) and Synchrotron Radiation (SR). Radiation shielded hutches are required for the protection for personnel against these radiation hazards. Standardization of the hutch design and fabrication process was done. This paper discusses hutch layout design, standardization of fabrication, shielding philosophy, material selection, quality checks, installation and subsequent optimization based on radiation measurements.
