Q

What are the radiation hazard areas when utilizing Golden X-ray systems?

A

20 feet to the rear, 20 feet to the side, 100 feet to the front

2
Q

What is the maximum radiation exposure aim for X-ray operations?

A

2 mr or less

3
Q

In most cases what is a good rule of thumb for X-ray stand-off?

A

Observing good blast and frag stand-offs will provide good X-ray stand-offs

4
Q

What types of X-ray units are there?

A

Continuous wave or pulse

5
Q

What does KV or KVP mean?

A

Kilovolt or Kilovolt Peak is the ability of the X-ray machine to penetrate material

6
Q

What is the primary use for the X-ray machine?

A

To look inside the container and determine bomb components

7
Q

What type of X-ray machine is the Golden X-RAY-200?

A

Pulse

8
Q

What is the lifecycle of an X-ray tube?

A

100,000 pulses

9
Q

What is the tube cool down time (in training)?

A

50 pulses and below 10 sec wait time, 51-99 pulses 5 min wait time

10
Q

What is the optimal distance to place an X-ray panel behind a target?

A

1/4-1/2 inch

11
Q

What is the inverse square law?

A

2x the distance 4x the exposure, the 2x4 rule

12
Q

How does the X-ray panel work?

A

When exposed to the X-rays, the phosphor screen captures the energy of the X-rays and stores the pattern as a latent image

Q

What is the beam angle of the XR-200 X-ray machine?

A

40 degrees

15
Q

What is the effect when the phosphorus screen is placed 1 foot behind the package?

A

Items appear larger

16
Q

What percentage of the X-ray energy generates heat?

A

99% and 1% X-Ray
