Abstract At the electron accelerator ELSA, a new external beamline is under construction, whose task is to provide a primary electron beam for detector tests. In the future the accelerator facility will not only be offering an electron beam to the currently implemented photoproduction experiments for hadron physics, but to the new "‘research and technology center detector physics"',whose task is to develop detectors for particle and astroparticle physics. To dump and simultaneously measure the current of the electron beam behind the detector components a Faraday cup consisting of depleted uranium is used. The residual radiation leaving the cup is absorbed in a concrete casing. The radiation protection concept for the entire area of the new beamline was designed with the help of the Monte Carlo simulation program Fluka. In addition the concrete casing, radiation protection walls were taken into account to allow a safe working environment in the room created by the shielding walls. The presentation gives an overview of the different radiation protection concepts for the new beamline for detector tests at ELSA. Furthermore, progresses at the beamline will be reported.
