Hazard control measures for analytical x-ray systems

Requirements for controlling potential hazards associated with analytical x-ray systems are specified in most states by law. For example, at Ames Laboratory these requirements are detailed in the Radiological Protection Program or Policy 10202.003, Analytical X-ray Safety . Portions of these hazard control and safety measures are summarized below. [Pg.284]

Shutters. On open-beam configurations, each port on the source housing shall be equipped with a shutter that cannot be opened unless a collimator or coupling has been connected to the port. [Pg.285]

Housing interlock. Each x-ray tube housing shall be equipped with an interlock that shuts off the tube if the tube is removed from the housing or if the housing is disassembled. [Pg.285]

Shielding provided by housing. Each x-ray tube housing shall be constructed so that, with all shutters closed, the radiation, measured at a distance of five centimeters from its surface, is not capable of producing a dose in excess of 2.5 mrem in one hour. [Pg.285]

Warning lights. An easily visible warning light with the words X-RAY ON shall be located near any switch that energizes an x-ray tube and shall be illuminated only when the tube is energized. [Pg.285]
