Page 32: Introduction
1.1 Description These local rules apply to the operation of the ‘Xcalibur’ X-ray diffractometer installed in the Applications Laboratory of Oxford Diffraction Ltd., 68 Milton Park, Abingdon Oxfordshire 1.2 Risk Assessment The radiological hazard results from the use of an X-ray source while its generator is switched on. The maximum operating parameters of the generator are 60kV and 50mA (3KW) although normally the tube is run at no more than 70% of its maximum power. -
Page 33: Contingency Plans
LOCAL RADIATION RULES – EXAMPLE COPY 2. Contingency Plans 2.1 Exposure Direct access to the primary beam could deliver an overdose of radiation, perhaps leading to a burn, in only a few minutes. (For a copper target this would be a few seconds). Should any monitor reading be in excess of indicated levels steps should be taken to stop the radiation, taking extreme care to protect yourself and the people in the room. -
Page 34: Names And Duties Of Persons
LOCAL RADIATION RULES – EXAMPLE COPY 3. Names and Duties of Persons 3.1 Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) The following person has been appointed by Oxford Diffraction, as RPS for this equipment: David Warner Telephone 01235 443630 The RPS should be consulted on all matters affecting radiation safety with this equipment. -
