Industrial hygiene and safety controls at a 1.5 MeV electron beam accelerator facility.
This paper discusses radiological safety measures built in to a 1.5 MeV electron beam accelerator at the General Motors Research Laboratories. The accelerator is used to study the interaction of electrons with plastic materials. The safety features described represent the type of precautions taken over and above legal requirements and include the results of experience gained in other installations.
