	Over the course of decades, the shape of the bulk shielding walls for synchrotron light sources has developed into a standard configuration, including a ratchet shape of the outer storage ring wall, to accommodate the clearance needs for front end and first optical enclosure assemblies. New state of the art light sources will have low emittance, high energy beams, which will give potential for higher beam losses. These losses will yield higher radiation dose rates at the downstream wall and stricter safety requirements in the first optical enclosure. Throughout the installation of local shields at NSLS-II, verification dose rate studies of various shielding configurations were performed. Analysis of these studies revealed that a circular outer bulk shield wall could greatly reduce the dose rate to the users who work near the front end optical components. This presentation discusses the benefits of this circular bulk shield wall verses the challenges of component installation near the wall and ways to mitigate them.

Over the course of decades, the shape of the bulk shielding walls for synchrotron light sources has developed into a standard configuration, including a ratchet shape of the outer storage ring wall, to accommodate the clearance needs for front end and first optical enclosure assemblies. New state of the art light sources will have low emittance, high energy beams, which will give potential for higher beam losses. These losses will yield higher radiation dose rates at the downstream wall and stricter safety requirements in the first optical enclosure. Throughout the installation of local shields at NSLS-II, verification dose rate studies of various shielding configurations were performed. Analysis of these studies revealed that a circular outer bulk shield wall could greatly reduce the dose rate to the users who work near the front end optical components. This presentation discusses the benefits of this circular bulk shield wall verses the challenges of component installation near the wall and ways to mitigate them.
