Abstract
The report describes a study undertaken by the Product Testing and Evaluation Branch to evaluate the radiation hazards associated with a small electrostatic generator and particle accelerator used for educational purposes. Laboratory measurements of the x-ray emission are presented, and comments are offered regarding the safety instructions provided with the device. Test findings are compared to the purposed performance standard for demonstration-type cold-cathode gas discharge tubes, since the final version of the standard had not been published at the time the work was performed.
