Thanks Steve, those lead shields are useful in minimizing radiation
exposure in a clinical setting but unfortunately in a hacker space I would
probably classify having an active X-ray source as a hazardous danger. I'm
not against controlled risks but there is a very real risk of inadvertantly
exposing other occupants to X-rays (even accidentally) and that could be a
problem. Similar to some of the biowork that a few of us are hoping to do,
we have to be really careful to ensure Sudo room is a physically safe
enviroment (within reason) for all members, even if that means some things
may not be possible in our shared space and I would feel a little
uncomfortable with an active X-ray source being used (even if I'm in the
other room).
Does anyone have any additional thoughts on this? I'm not an X-ray (or
radiation) expert but I just wanted to chime in around the safety
considerations that I thought might be important for us!

Hey Guys,
Just a word of caution from a Bio/Clinical guy (which I'm sure most of
you are aware of but I just thought I'd bring it up).
We have to be really careful with X-ray's and if/when they're used in
Sudo room as it can be carcinogenic (ionizing radiation causes DNA damage
with potential to cause cancer). Radiation sources can also penetrate
walls, so it could have potential outside of the confines of sudoroom.
If the machine is held in Sudo room we should also clearly mark it and
let everyone know if/when it's activated!
All the best,
Ryan

What sort of an X-ray machine? I've always
thought it would be handy to
have one around to see what's inside various devices.
