Hey Folks,
A colleague of mine had a question involving rad controls for Radiation
Generating Devices. She is currently requiring 'radiological controls' for
X-ray RGDs with max accelerating potentials of 5keV and above. The scope of
the 'rad controls' is dependent on safety features built into the device.
For machines with accelerating potentials of less than 5 keV no review by
radiation protection personnel occurs.
Does anyone out there use a similar energy dependent screen for evaluating
the hazards from these devices?
If yes, What value do you use and what is the basis for the value?
Thanks in advance. I will summarize the answers and post the result.
