RADIATION PROTECTION AND CONTROL (IONISING RADIATION) REGULATIONS 2000 - REG 69

69—X-ray tubes incorporated in X-ray analysis apparatus

        (1)         An X-ray tube incorporated in an X-ray analysis apparatus must be enclosed in a tube housing every aperture of which is covered—

            (a)         by a shutter; or

            (b)         by a completely shielded enclosure, all entrances to which (apart from the aperture) are interlocked so that the opening of any such entrance immediately de-energises the X-ray tube.

        (2)         The tube housing and the enclosure referred to in subregulation (1) must be adequately shielded.

        (3)         The X-ray tube and the tube housing of an X-ray analysis apparatus must be interlocked so that the removal of one from the other de-energises the X-ray tube.

        (4)         If a cover providing direct access to the inside of the X-ray tube housing is removed from an X-ray analysis apparatus, the X-ray tube must be de-energised.
