LOCATE X-RAY LEAKAGE or ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA CONTAMINATION ON:

• X-RAY SCANNERS
• PACKAGES
• FLOORS OR WALLS

APPLICATION: State and Federal Regulations require that devices that use or produce X-rays must not emit (leak) X-rays in excess of 0.5 mR/hr from any 10 cm² area as measured at a distance of 5 cm. This should be verified by complete measurement at time of manufacture, again, upon installation, and periodically thereafter. A small accurate X-ray mR-meter such as Technical Associates Model TBM-IC-MV with 10 cm² active detector area X-ray compliance adapter, which is ideal for this task. However, manually scanning the surface of a large cabinet x-ray machine or airport luggage scanner, etc. 10 square centimeters at a time is quite tedious. For this reason, Technical Associates offers the Quick Sweep Rad Detector Model P-8 NEON-A.
 

PROCEDURE:

1. Pick one side of X-ray cabinet to check first.
2. Use chalk to divide this side of cabinet into regions or strokes, each 16" wide.
3. Set X-Ray emitter to continuous emission or continuous use if possible.
4. Place P-8 NEON-A Probe against side of cabinet and sweep it along at about 1"/second.
5. Watch the 8 lights on the P-8 NEON-A for rapid flashing.
6. Use the chalk to mark the location of the flashing light.
7. Then continue your sweep.
8. When sweeps are completed, come back and repair shielding at the "hot spots" or measure precise mR/hr with TBM-EXR.
