The radiation shielding hutches for the fourth BRIGHT Beamline, BioSAXS, arrived at the Australian Synchrotron in early August. The European manufacturer worked alongside a Victorian engineering company with specialist engineering and technician teams from the Synchrotron for a seamless installation. Completion of the hutches is on track for October 2021.
