This report presents estimated radiation levels inside the UJ32 under nominal LHC running conditions. The radiation levels are expressed in terms of total dose [Gy], 1MeV neutrons equivalent fluence and the fluence of hadrons having energy in excess of 20 MeV. When the average loss rate around the ring is 1.65¥1011m-1y-1 the annual dose inside an electronics rack in UJ32 is 1¥10-2 Gy [Si], the annual 1 MeV eq. Neutron fluence is 5¥108 per cm2 and the annual high energetic hadron fluence is 5¥107 per cm2.
