Abstract

Doses of ionizing radiation generated by a luggage simulator are measured. The luggage simulator is irradiated under conditions that occur when luggage is inspected by photonuclear detectors for explosive materials. It is shown that the ionizing radiation caused by induced radiation is not dangerous either to passengers or to airport stuff.
