Of the assessed units, 13 (93 %) had tube leakage < 1000 µGy/hr at 1m. For shielding tests, 47 % of units had radiation levels above 0.5 µSv/hr at the main door leading to the X-ray rooms and the registration area. The dose rates > 10 µSv/hr were recorded at viewing windows, walls and doors of control cubicles and behind the doors of changing cubicles. These dose rates indicating higher health risk to workers and member of public.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
