National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS)Structure
• 65 Beam lines• NSLS• PRT
• Schedule• Operations; 44 wk/yr; 24/7• Studies• Maintenance; 2 d/month; 2 extended
• 2200 scientist User community
• Staff• 155 Facility• 75 beam line (non-BNL)
• 1500 experiments/yr• >900 publications/yr
• ‘Small Science’ experiment• Often 1 – 3 experimenters• Beam time 2 – 6 days
• Many experiments routine• Limited sample prep; mg’s

NSLS Experiment ESH ReviewThe Process
• Managed by ESH&Q with Operations support• Experiment Review Coordinators (ERC)
• 2 people; 1 back up• Electronic submission (1 week advance – routine)• Lead Experimenter assigned• ESH review: ESH staff, Local Contact & User discussion
• Approved; Approved requires notification; ERC review required• User arrives
• Contact Operations Coordinator (Op Co)• Op Co prints approved form; enables the beam line (Authorization to start)
o Contact Experiment Review Coordinator (if requested)o Review and post formo Beam line safety checklist (configuration control)o Check User trainingo Confirm Lead Experimenter
• Experiment begins
7 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES
• Materials (qty; return; store; barcode)• Equipment• Tasks; Risks; Contingency plan• Waste• Specific questions
• Human materials / animals (ethics)• Virus, toxin, select agent, viable• Radioactives• Laser• Wet chem• Haz waste• Magnets (stray field)• Non-NRTL electrical• Nano• Reactive (peroxide, explosive, pyrophoric …)• Cryogens

NSLS Experiment ESH ReviewStandard MX
• 8 Questions• Viable or infetious• Bio-toxin• Human tissue or body material• Viable recombinant DNA / RNA• Freeze propane from gas source• Other than ‘Dry shipper’• Heavy metal soak at NSLS• Any other safety issue
ALL No = Standard Experiment Envelope

User Training
• Efficient; user specific• 3 parts; ~1.5 hrs
• BNL General Employee Radiological Training (web)• NSLS User Safety (web)• Beam Line Operational Safety Awareness (BLOSA) (hands on at beam line; local
contact)• NSLS User Safety (8 sections)
• Introduction (objectives ESH policy; directions)• Radiation (posting, dosimetry, shielding, interlocks, materials)• Electrical (posting, breakers, LOTO, tags, cables)• Chemicals & wastes (labeling, storage, disposal)• Other (Be, cryo, laser; magnets, compressed gas)• Facility and beamline (SAF’s, BLOSA, vacuum, unattended ops, stop
work)• Emergencies (fire, evacuation, reporting)• Policy (ID badges, traffic, security, Lyme, housekeeping,
Op Co)
