Description

This work details some of the latest radiological studies performed at NSLS-II using the Monte Carlo particle transport code FLUKA.
In particular, it describes the radiation protection challenges posed by the anticipated NSLS-II facility upgrade, evaluating a selection of the various scenarios currently under consideration.
Also, it assesses the impact related to the eventual adoption of ambient dose as the external radiation exposure estimator of effective dose.
Lastly, a demonstration of synchrotron radiation transport is provided for an in silico beam line, from source to endstation, utilizing FLUKA’s new X-ray reflectivity capabilities.
