floppy discs
It is not the x-rays but the RF radiation. When I worked in the hospital we
had lots of floppy discs in high radiation areas, with no loss of data. But
put them near an electric motor, and you had problems. Even the transit
commission here has warnings about carrying floppy discs on streetcars or
subway cars.
