Radiation Measurement Testing Data
1.
All measurements were taken with Technical Associates Model
Pug-1 survey meter that was cross calibrated against an air
ionization chamber survey meter whose response was
corrected against an Americium-241 test source.
2.
Interlock/Electronic Shutter closed - The radiation levels are
not measurable.
3.
Interlock/Electronic Shutter open - The extent of the main
x-ray beam is completely contained within the tunnel formed
by the inspection head and shielding bar. All radiation levels
outside the main beam are less than 0.05 MR/HR.
4.
Machine has optional safety input provided that will disable
the x-ray. The normal inputs used are safety door interlock, or
