Yep, that's close enough. Although we mostly use a gamma radiation source as x-rays are electronically generated, we aren't near a plug and the equipment is often cumbersome.
There are portable x-ray generators that run off a 20v dewalt battery. But their effective penetrative power means it's only viable for very thin walled pipes.
Not quite. We climb / rappel structures, mostly oil rigs. And use a gamma radiation source to check for weld defects.
We're known as bombers because the source container, a techops sentinel 880 or a SCAR projector look a lot like bombs and we blast radiation all over the place causing issues to the nucleonic sensors so over the place.
I'm a rope access industrial radiographer.
Edit: colloquially known as a "bomber"
A heads up for anyone else having an issue with the android app and the new version with the https server. There is a segment of the nginx config file you will need to remove that was a workaround for version 10.8 that is no longer needed and should be removed.
Can't remember which section right now.
Will try to edit this tomorrow.
looking pretty good here
Very very carefully, drop it in a postbox and run!
