Abstract

AbstractA design is described which conforms to OSHA recommendations for good radiation protection procedures. This design can be used on most units where X‐ray optics are exposed to the atmosphere. It proves sufficient and should make most nonvacuum X‐ray units comply with today's recommended dosage levels. A survey of our instrument gave results well below the maximum permissible level of 2.5 milliröntgen per hour for scattered radiation at a distance five centimeters from the housing surface. The detected scattered radiation was in the range of 0.03 milliröntgen per hour, which is within the limits of normal background radiation.
