[ RadSafe ] x-ray machines

Hi Dora,
unfortunately your question is too open ended to provide a sensible  answer.  
It simply provokes a lot of questions.  What type of x-ray  machine and what 
is it used for e.g. Postal or aircraft baggage X-rays,  Industrial X-rays for 
examining welds or items that have been manufactured,  X-rays sets used for 
chemical analysis (XRF or XRD), medical or Dental  x-rays.  Then you need to 
know who is being exposed, people who work with  the equipment e.g. postal 
workers, industrial radiographers, chemists, medical  of dental personnel.  Or is it 
patients or the public who are having their  belongings or even these days 
themselves X-rayed.  Or other workers who  work in the vicinty of the x-ray 
facility.  Finally it is important to know  where this is taking place e.g. the 
country or even the state/province because,  depending on who is being exposed 
and what they are being exposed to the  regulations (the law) may well differ 
depending on state or national  legislation.
 
If you provide more detail I'm sure that someone on the list will be able  to 
help.
 
Regards,
        Julian
