Radiation Safety, Medical Physics & Atomic-Era Government Publications
Medical X-Ray Protection Up to Three Million Volts, National Bureau of Standards Handbook 76 and NCRP Report No. 26. Issued February 9, 1961, by the U.S. Department of Commerce, this original government publication presents early national recommendations for protecting medical personnel, patients, and surrounding areas from diagnostic and therapeutic X-ray radiation.
The handbook discusses exposure limits, structural shielding, protective barriers, equipment placement, workload and occupancy factors, radiation surveys, and safety standards for medical X-ray installations operating at energies up to three million volts. An interesting reference for radiologists, medical physicists, health-physics professionals, historians, and collectors of atomic-age government and scientific publications.
This copy has especially interesting provenance from the technical library of the Babcock & Wilcox Atomic Energy Division, with its original ownership label and 1961 catalog markings inside. The booklet remains intact and readable with age toning, cover fading, edge wear, small creases, surface marks, and former technical-library markings.
