The radiation safety system of the B-Factory accelerator facility at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is described. The radiation safety system, which is designed to protect people from prompt radiation exposure due to beam operation, consists of the access control system and the radiation containment system. The access control system prevents people from being exposed to the very high radiation levels inside a beamline shielding enclosure. The access control system consists of barriers, a standard entry module at every entrance, and beam stoppers. The radiation containment system prevents people from being exposed to the radiation outside a shielding enclosure due to either normal or abnormal operation. The radiation containment system consists of power limiting devices, shielding, dump and collimator, and an active radiation monitoring system. The inter-related elements for the access control system and radiation containment system, as well as the associated interlock network, are described. The policies and practices used in establishing the radiation safety system are also compared with the regulatory requirements.
