Since 22nd October 2012 BESSY is operated in top-up mode. Losses of electrons during injection cause an electromagnetic cascade, that consists of high energetic photons of the bremsstrahlung, and secondary electrons and positrons from the pair creations. The bremsstrahlung spectrum has a maximum at 1.022 MeV owing to pair creations. The spectrum has a high energetic tail, that reaches up to the electron energy of 1.7 GeV at BESSY. The low energy part of the electromagnetic cascade is produced by compton scattering or the photo - effect. Due to the opened beamshutters during top-up injections, the low energetic part of the bremsstrahlung spectrum can reach the experimental hall. We used the particle interaction and transport code FLUKA for the calculations of both the fluence and the dose distribution. We calculated the gamma spectra of the radiation through the shielding walls and through the front-ends. We discuss the question whether additional safety measures are necessary for top-up operation due to the low energy part of the spectrum. From our calculations we determined the correction factors for our ionisation chambers of the ambient dose measurement system.

The Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Prototype BERLinPro is to be constructed at the Helmholtz Zentrum site in Berlin. The aim of the project is to expand the required accelerator physics and technology knowledge mandatory for the generation of a high current (100 mA), high brilliance (norm. emittance below 1 mm mrad) cw electron beam. Since the funding decision in October 2010 the project has entered a phase of detailed planning. Hardware specifications have been defined and various components have been ordered. Furthermore, extensive tests of principal superconducting accelerator components successfully demonstrated the envisaged hardware performance. A summary of the most recent activities together with the details of the project timeline for the coming years are given in this paper.
