[ I’ve got a Norelco MG150 x-ray from the 50’s you could probably pressure wash. The price is right guys! ]

What are you using that for?

Are you irradiating your liberal neighbors ... AGAIN....?

We used it to calibrate x-ray diodes, which were used to measure the output characteristics of the “devices” used in underground nuclear tests back in the day. Also used it to verify radiation transport codes (simulation software).

It is a pretty potent machine, we had to put up lead sheets on the wall next to it because it was dosing the middle stall of the men’s room.

It hasn’t seen much use in recent years, but still works. Nothing made today can run at similar energy levels for the same duration of time. We used to run it 10 hours a day for months.

Fortunately, I don’t have any liberal neighbors. :)
