Radiation safety at the University of Rochester's Laser Fusion Research Facility.
The fusion research conducted at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics requires large amounts of tritium and generates brief but very high, neutron fluxes. This raises a number of radiological concerns that have been satisfactorily addressed via a combination of engineering controls, training, and administrative controls. These problems encountered and our solutions to them are described in this paper.
