[ RadSafe ] X-ray Production in Power Supplies

[John R Johnson]

Randy et al

X-rays can be produced but the energy will be less than (or equal to) the
voltage in the tube.

Have any of you run across any articles on, or actually measured, X-rays
being produced by power supplies, for example, an X-ray power supply?  I
have
not been able to figure out how this could be possible, if it is possible.
It's a long story.



Thank you,
