Results of the measurement of activation induced by Argon beam with energies of E=100,200,800 MeV/u in the copper target are presented. The densities of various radioactive isotopes are derived from the measurements. Long-time prediction of radioactivity and accumulated doses in the accelerator equipment is calculated.

Many materials and electronic devices need to be tested for the radiation environment expected at the proposed linear colliders (LC) where the accelerator and detectors will be subjected to large fluences of hadrons, electrons and gammas during the life of the facility. Examples are NdFeB permanent magnets which are being considered for the damping rings and final focus, electronic and electro-optical devices which will be utilized in the detector readout and accelerator control systems and CCDs required for the vertex detector. The effects of gammas on a broad range of materials was presented at NSREC2002 and our understanding of the current situation concerning rare earth permanent magnets at PAC2003 where a program was proposed using neutrons from the McClellan Nuclear Reactor Center (MNRC) that has a number of areas for irradiating samples with neutron fluxes up to 4.5·1013 n/cm2s. A specialized area allows irradiation with 1 MeV-equivalent neutrons with fluxes of 4.2·1010 n/cm2s while suppressing thermal neutrons and gammas by large factors. We give our latest results and their interpretation using this facility.

A state of the art radiation monitoring and alarm system is being implemented at CERN for the LHC. The RAdiation Monitoring System for the Environment and Safety (RAMSES) comprises about 350 monitors and provides ambient dose equivalent rates measured in the LHC underground areas as well as on the surface inside and outside the CERN perimeter. In addition, it monitors air and water released from the LHC installations. Although originally conceived for radiation protection only, RAMSES also integrates some conventional environmental measurements such as physical and chemical parameters of released water and levels of non-ionizing radiation in the environment. RAMSES generates local radiation warnings, local alarms as well as remote alarms on other monitored variables, which are transmitted to control rooms. It generates operational interlocks, allows remote supervision of all measured variables as well as data logging and safe, long-term archiving for off-line data analysis and reporting. Requirements of recent national and international regulations in combination with CERN's specific technical needs were translated into the RAMSES specifications. This paper outlines the scope, the organization, the main system performance and the system design.
