Indus-2 Synchrotron Radiation Source is designed for 2.5 GeV, 300 mA stored current of electrons. It has 172-meter circumference. Indus-2 SRS with a critical wavelength of 2
A° from bending magnets has been designed to cater to the needs of X-ray users. There are twenty-seven beam lines to be installed for different applications. These beam lines are planned to be taken out from the bending magnets. The beam lines shall be used for performing the experiment using synchrotron radiation. In. order to assess radiation hazard to SR Users;
experiments were performed by Health Physics Unit in front of X-Ray Diffraction Beam line for measurement of radiation using a thin window (Mylar window) ion chamber made by Electronics Division, BARC. Experimental study of the Synchrotron and Bremsstrahlung contribution indicates that along
with the synchrotron radiation (4 keV - 30 keV), higher energy bremsstrahlung radiation also comes out in SR beam line. This 'paper describes the percentage, of bremsstrahlung contribution observed with the synchrotron using the detector. The study has helped us in deCiding the amount of radiation shielding to be put around SR beam lines in Indus-2 experimental hall to protect the working personnel
