	Activation of the surrounding of an accelerator must be quantified and those data provided to the official agencies, This is a necessary step for obtaining the appropriate authorization to operate such accelerator. The SwissFEL, being a 4th generation light source, will produce more accelerated charges, which are dumped or lost, than any conventional 3rd generation light source, like the Swiss Light Source.
