Take a look at NBS Handbook 114, "General Safety Standard for Installations 
Using Non-Medical X-Ray and Sealed Gamma Ray Sources, Energies up to 10 
MeV", and ANSI N43.3.

     I have been assigned the project of writing a procedure that covers
     the post maintenance survey of a X-ray machine used to screen incoming
     personal items similar to those used in airports.  Since I have worked
     in a nuclear power station for the last 26 years, my experience with
     X-ray machines is limited (get a chest X-ray occasionally), and
     ancient (what little training I had was in the late '60s).
     I would appreciate being directed toward information that contains the
     requirements for surveys of X-ray machines such as instrumentation,
     maximum radiation levels, distances, general techniques and helpful
     hints.
