Safety Provisions in Electron Accelerators are designed in such a way that the doses to the working personnel and concentration of toxic and radioactive gases are 'well within the limits prescribed by AERB in normally accessible areas. This is achieved by putting appropriate radiation shielding, ventilation and radiation monitoring system. Personnel protection System ensures that no one remains trapped inside the machine during its operation. This paper briefly describes the various Electron Accelerator machines in operation at RRCAT, followed by the radiation hazards prevalent in them. Finally the design and operational safety provisions at Electron Accelerators at RRCAT are described in detail.
