European XFEL is the first free electron laser operating at MHz repetition rate with electron beam energy up to 17.5 GeV. The high repetition rate together with the high electron beam energy provides unique opportunities for users in different domains. To further extend the operation schemes, some upgrades have already been implemented and several more are planned. The advanced operation schemes may require devices inserted into the beam like slotted foil or narrow vacuum chambers such as for the corrugated structure, the Apple-X undulator, and the superconducting undulator. Due to the high beam power generated by the superconducting linac, there are concerns about increased radiation loads. Therefore, simulations and measurements have been carried out to study the radiation dose rates that may be generated. We give an overview of the simulations and measurements for the above mentioned schemes.
