  The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) at BNL has been in operation since 2003. The first commissioning of the facility took place beginning in October 2002 and the facility became operational in July 2003. The facility was constructed in collaboration with NASA for the purpose of performing radiation effect studies for the NASA space program. The NSRL is capable of making use of protons and heavy ions in the range of 0.05 to 3 GeV/n slow extracted from BNL's AGS Booster. It is also capable of making use of protons and heavy ions fast extracted from the AGS Booster. Many different beam conditions have been produced for experiments at NSRL, including very low intensity In this report we will describe the facility and its' performance over the eight experimental run periods that have taken place since it became operational. We will also describe the current and future capabilities of the NSRL.

  The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in Run-6 was operating in polarized proton mode. With two Siberian Snakes per ring, the polarized protons were brought into collisions at 100 Gev and 31.2 Gev energies. The control of polarization orientation at STAR and PHENIX experiments was done using helical spin rotators. Physics studies were conducted with longitudinal, vertical and radial beam polarization at collision points. This paper presents the performance of RHIC as a polarized proton collider in the Run-6 with emphasis on beam polarization and luminosity issues.
