Abstract

Synchrotron-radiation facilities are not populated with a large number of people with expertise in handling radioactive materials. This often leads to safety concerns that can delay or prevent experiments on radioactive materials from being conducted. Many of these concerns can be addressed in advance with well standardized research methods and procedures. This chapter discusses some of the methods and procedures that one can use to study radioactive samples at synchrotrons. It covers containment techniques and potential problems that can occur during measurements on radioactive samples.
