Radiography in progress refers to which room?

• A. A room used for film processing
• B. A room where a special high intensity source is issued to X-ray plant components
• C. A room for decontamination
• D. A room for storage of radiography equipment

Answer: (B)

Radiography in progress means the radioactive source is actively being used for an exposure, so access to that area must be strictly controlled and the source handled with proper safety measures. The room where the special high intensity source is issued to X-ray plant components is the correct place for this activity because it’s the controlled area where the source is prepared, loaded into the exposure device, and removed after use, with shielding and safety interlocks in place. A room for film processing is for developing radiographs after exposure, not for the active handling of the source. A room for decontamination is for cleaning up contamination, not for the operation of radiography. A room for storage of radiography equipment is for keeping gear when not in use, not for the actual source handling during radiography.
