Nick,
The linac part is long and mostly far away.
We were in the campus part. They are pretty safety oriented there, so I
wasn't concerned.
When I was at MIT, the Plasma Fusion Center had their computation
facilities a floor above the magnets, and when there was a pulse, all
the monitors got really weird & wavy. The place looked just like a
movie idea of a mad scientist's lair -- a raised dais with a semicircle
of 10ft tall racks of equipment with blinkenlights and oscilloscopes,
every one showing a sine wave.

Linear accelerator as in... stonking great electromagnets? Any
interesting QRM? :-)
