Abstract:

The radiation safety and protection system of the KIT Synchrotron in Karlsruhe, Germany, is composed of
three interlinked systems: the Personnel Interlock System of the machine and the Beamline Personnel Safety
System of the beamlines, together with an independent system to control the status of all front-end shutters.
The Personnel Interlock System consists of hard-wired linked hardware controlled by a programmable logic
controller and is in operation since the start-up of the facility in the year 1998. Its design follows safety
standards and the principle of good engineering practice.
The Beamline Personnel Safety System controls the exclusive access of either ionizing radiation or persons
to the beamline radiation hutches. The reliability of components and the overall system obeys the terms of
safety categories and the risk analysis by the standard EN ISO 13849. It links the Safety Integrity Level
concept to Performance Levels defining an approach in terms of probabilistic failure rates for components
and systems. The personnel safety system for the currently commissioned new accelerator FLUTE of KIT
is based on the same concepts.
