THE preliminary draft of a new code of regulations relating to the effects of ionizing radiations in industry has been published by the Ministry of Labour. Tht: Factories (Ionizing Radiations) Special Regulations (Stationery Office, 9d.) suggest methods of protecting operators of X-ray and other radio-active equipment, provide for measurements to be made of radiation intensity and set out the maximum permissible doses of radiation. X-ray equipment is used in the motor industry to detect flaws in castings and welded assemblies, and radio-active tracer techniques are being applied to research into engine wear.
