Abstract |
A conference on radiation safety in x-ray diffraction and spectroscopy was held at the University of Pennsylvania on January 6-7, 1970, to fill the need for improved communications between users of x-ray diffraction and spectroscopy equipment, health physicists, and governmental agencies with regulatory responsibilities. Radiation safety in the use of the equipment was discussed from the viewpoints of the experimentalist and other user-oriented personnel, individuals concerned primarily with radiation safety, and agencies responsible for developing and enforcing guides, standards, and regulations. This report contains the conference proceedings; it includes both the papers presented and the discussions held at the conference. (Author) |
