We have a copy of the 1960's "Double Edged Sword" which I no longer use when I  
teach XRD classes in MatSE, CE and Ceramics Engineering on Safety.  I now use  
handouts, slides and lecture notes.  The tape is too old, but does have some good  
points if it was edited (cut from 22 min. to about 7 minutes) which we have not  
done as of yet.  For Radioisotope labs we use three new videos from University of  
Calgary (we have retired the old IU tape), but these are heavily subsidized with  
handouts, overheads, and lecture notes.  Perhaps you should contact Rigaku,  
Scintag, GE, or Philips to see if they have an updated video on Analytical x-ray  
producing equipment radiation safety. I am in the process of writing a text on the  
subject.

    I'm looking for videotapes to utilize in training programs for two
    types of personnel:

          1. Analytical x-ray machine users, i.e. those using x-ray
             diffraction/flourescence machines or cabinet x-ray machines
             (e.g. Faxitrons).

          2. Ancillary personnel, e.g. janitorial, physical plant,
             security, etc. who frequent areas where radioactive materials
             or x-ray machines are used but don't actually handle
             contaminated equipment (those folks get task-specific
             training).

    Any advice is welcome, negative as well as positive--it may save me
    some time in screening a tape that someone else already knows is
    worthless or is inappropriate for the intended audience.

    Thanks in advance!
