  The new injector of the Elettra storage ring is based on a 100 MeV linac feeding a 3 Hz booster synchrotron. The booster is designed to accelerate the electron beam up to the maximum energy of 2.5 GeV, providing full-energy injection into the storage ring. The Personnel Safety System (PSS) of the new injector protects personnel from radiation hazards by controlling access to restricted areas and interrupting the machine operation in case unsafe conditions occur. The system is based on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) technology providing redundant logic in a fail-safe configuration. This paper describes the radiation safety criteria that have been defined to minimize radiation exposure hazards as well as the technology and architecture chosen for the PSS implementation.

  A new injector based on a 100 MeV linac and a 2.5 GeV booster synchrotron has been built and commissioned at Elettra to provide full energy and top up injection into the storage ring. The booster replaces the 1.2 GeV linac that will be used for the new 4th generation light source FERMI@Elettra currently under construction at Elettra. A new architecture has been adopted for the booster control system based on the Tango control system software. The implementation of the control system and the tools developed to meet an aggressive commissioning time schedule are presented. The experience gained during the operation of the booster is also discussed.
