...well one good reason would be to save on Lead shielding. The thickness of the Lead is constant, so you use less per unit volume for a larger cylinder radius. Presumably the power would scale with the volume, thus improving the Lead to power ratio and making the power cheaper. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
