Radiation Protection

Please note: Major parts of the experimental hall are now supervised area (Überwachungsbereich). However, personal dosimetry as well as all other regulations for visitors remain unchanged.

The IR beamlines are operated in a controlled area. Therefore, the home institution has to sign a Radiation Delimitation Contract with the HZB. Persons planning to work for more than 7 days per year at the IR beamlines must aslo provide a radiation safety document proving that they are Radiation Workers (in Germany: Strahlenpass, Beruflich Strahlenexponierte) for registration at BESSY II.
