Caution vs. Danger vs. Warning
I need a little assistance. I have been asked which of the
following is most appropriate for a radiation danger sign.
(The operators of the equipment are assumed to be knowledgeable.)

| ????????????????????? | <=== The words in question are:
| | CAUTION, DANGER, WARNING
| { symbol } |
| { here } |
| |
| X-RAY RADIATION |
| |
| This machine produces X-ray |
| radiation when energized |
| |
| Do not remove shutter when |
| energized |

My colleagues and I feel that caution may be too soft a term,
while danger may be too severe.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Cordially,
Kris
