Summary
"...this report is concerned with both the design and operational aspects of veterinary radiation equipment, and matters relating to sructural shielding design. While much of this material is already contained in Reports 33 and 34, this report presents the pertinent information which is applicable to the veterinary use of radiation. The NCRP believes that it is important for each radiation user in veterinary practice to be thoroughly familiar with the pertinent recommendations. If these remained embedded in the more comprehensive recommendations covering the whole radiation field, the availability of the information and the usefulness to the veterniarian would be somewhat limited. This report is intended to serve as a guide to good practice. It provides basic standards which may be used in the preparation of regulatory protection codes but is not specifically written for literal adoption as legal regulations..." --From Preface, pages iii-iv.
