Analytical X-ray Manual
Scope and
Applicability
This manual applies to all
personnel working at or visiting ASU who procure or utilize
analytical x-ray equipment. The Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency
defines analytical x-ray equipment as any device which utilizes
x-rays for examining the structure and/or composition of materials.
This includes x-ray diffraction and x-ray fluorescence analysis
equipment.
ASU procures and uses analytical
x-ray equipment under regulations issued by the Arizona Radiation
Regulatory Agency (ARRA). Use of this equipment at ASU is subject to
inspection and review by personnel from ARRA. In order to ensure
compliance with Arizona regulations for the control of ionizing
radiation, it is essential that personnel understand and follow
provisions of this
manual.
