Am interested in the possibility of adventitious output of X-Radiation from high voltage sources, in this particular instance, magnetrons operating at around 8 kV.
Two questions: 1. Does anybody know whether there is a level of x-radiation produced at these sorts of power levels that could conceivably generate a health hazard (.e.g, in excess of 7.5 micro Sieverts/hour at about 0.5 m from the source) ???? 2. Can anybody identify an appropriate device with which to survey and accurately measure the output of x-radiation from such sources ????
