	Using a 100kV x-ray unit set at 5Amps. What would the typical intensity in Sieverts be at 1 meter. If you have intensities at other settings that would also help. __________________ Dreams are the blue print for reality.

	May be talking from wrong orifice here, but are you sure that's 5 Amps? __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri

	You are right, sorry, I meant milliamperage (5mA). __________________ Dreams are the blue print for reality.

	The RadPro calculator comes up with about 92 Sv/hr. [Note: I haven't used RadPro before for X-rays, but use it a lot for calculating gamma shielding, doserates etc. The RadPro results we got have been checked by qualified persons, and by measurement after construction, and are quite accurate.] __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri

	Not 5 amps, oh well. I would have been interested to hear about the potential applications for a half-megawatt Death Ray.
