The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) is a multidisciplinary center for space radiation research funded by NASA and located at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Upton NY. Operational since 2003, the scope of NSRL is to provide ion beams in support of the NASA Humans in Space program in radiobiology, physics and engineering to measure the risk and ameliorate the effect of radiation in space. Recently, it has also been recognized as the only facility in the U.S. currently capable of contributing to heavy ion radiotherapy research. This work contains a general overview of NSRL structure, capabilities and operation.
美国宇航局太空辐射实验室（NSRL）是一个由美国宇航局资助的多学科太空辐射研究中心，位于纽约州Upton 的布鲁克海文国家实验室（BNL）。自 2003 年开始运作以来，NSRL 的范围是提供离子束，以支持美国宇航局的人类太空计划中的放射生物学、物理学和工程学，以测量太空辐射的风险并改善其影响。最近，它也被公认为美国目前唯一有能力为重离子放射治疗研究做出贡献的设施。本工作包含了 NSRL 结构、功能和运行的概述。
