Description:
<p>TARLA (Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory in Ankara) is the first national free electron laser facility and was established to conduct research on materials science, nonlinear optics, semiconductors, biotechnology, medicine and photochemical processes. The facility is designed to produce free electron laser (FEL) pulses in the energy range of 10-40 MeV and bremsstrahlung radiation up to 30 MeV (Aksoy et al., 2018). When operating and dumping with accelerated electron beams at TARLA, high quantities of X-rays and gamma radiation may occur in FEL and bremsstrahlung units. According to the regulations, this amount of man-made radiation has to be supervised and controlled. The doses taken by the radiation workers have to be recorded and monitored for radiation protection and radiation safety concept. </p>
