Posted by TurboZutek 9/20/2005 1:42 AM | remove   Good find!! The only parts of an X-Ray machine that remains radioactive after use is the waveguide and strike plate. Both are normally removed when the unit is decomissioned. Posted by Barry Kooda 10/5/2005 3:41 AM | remove   What a waste of good stuff. Posted by The Bean 10/12/2005 9:15 AM | remove   It didn't appear to be disassembled in ANY way when we were inside, so I suspect those parts were still inside (we'd been inside a week before it was torn down). The entire place looked like it'd just been forgotten about, there was still even a drum of film processing chemicals in the place. Posted by jjcoolj 6/29/2006 9:17 PM | remove   Where does the radiation come from, turbo? I thought X-ray tubes are usually an electron emitter and a dense metal target, such as tungsten. Posted by TurboZutek 7/7/2006 11:46 PM | remove   That's pretty much exactly it matey. http://health.howstuffworks.com/x-ray2.htm In UK X-Ray terminology, the 'Anode' is often called the 'strike plate' - as the Electron Beam 'Strikes' it before emitting X-Rays. The part labeled 'Filter' here is the WaveGuide (although waveguide can ALSO be a horn shaped device put on front to widen / narrow the beam). As I say, these parts are almost always removed - effectively disabling the machine. They get a little 'hot' over use too - and so pose a slight hazard at the end of their service lives.
