[FY2023]
Please bring a dosimeter provided by your home institution upon your visits. After the Radiation Control Office confirmed your dosimeters, they will lend SPring-8/SACLA dosimeter. The RFID-tag that also provided, functions as a door key for the radiation-controlled area of the experimental hall. To unlock the entrance door of the experimental hall, please tap the RFID-tag over the IC tag reader installed at each doors of the experimental hall. The card reader installed at the entrance door of each buildings is for user card.

The measurement results will be sent to the radiation protection supervisor provided on the Radiation Worker Application Form (For External User / Supplier).
※Please note that users who have not brought a dosimeter are not allowed to enter the SPring-8/SACLA radiation-controlled areas and may not be allowed to participate in or carry out experiments using SPring-8/SACLA beamlines. (Users affiliated with overseas institutions are exempted from this rule.)

Whenever you enter or exit the radiation-controlled areas, tap your RFID tag over the reader; it automatically keeps a record of radiation worker entering and exiting the controlled areas, which is required by law, and the door will be unlocked. Dosimeters are for on-site use only, and cannot be taken off of the SPring-8/SACLA property. Please do not separate your dosimeter and RFID tag since they are managed as a set.
