The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) is a high-performance fourth-generation storage ring light source based on multibend achromat optics. As such, APS-U will require on-axis injection. The injectors will need to supply full-current bunch replacement in the ring; therefore, the injected bunch charge will be up to five times higher than what is typical for APS. A program was conducted to measure the radiation dose above the injector transport line to the APS storage ring for both normal operation conditions and controlled loss scenarios. Standard survey meters were used to record the dose. A review of the dose data identified opportunities to minimize the potential dose under normal APS-U high charge operation and fault conditions; these include improving the supplemental shielding and adding engineered controls. In addition, the dose data provide a benchmark for evaluating new radiation monitors for APS-U.
