NCRP Report 144 replaces the previous Report 51, which was published in 1977. The
scope of this volume of about 500 pages covers all particle energies larger than 5 MeV (in …

The eight chapters of the report cover much of the material needed in the evaluation of
design and operational safety for particle accelerators below 40-50 MeV. Each chapter …

Particle accelerator safety problems are primarily those of activation and shielding. The
phenomena of activations from various nuclear particles and from photons is relatively well …
