Doses due to scattered synchrotron radiation were calculated, in the case of thin shield or without shield as well as with and without considering linear polarization effect, by using shielding design codes for synchrotron radiation beamlines (STAC8 and PHOTON) and Monte Carlo simulation codes (EGS4 and FLUKA). The comparison of results shows reasonably agreements between codes.
