Abstract

Radiation Protection in major research-facilities includes several aspects concerning their planning, the hazard-sources, the environmental protection and the general safety. The present paper includes a concise presentation of the approach to the radiation protection policies proposed for the Athens Race Track Microtron (250 MeV, 550 mA) and the Heraclion Modified Betatron Accelerator (25 MeV, 1 kA).
