The recent extention of X-ray diffractimetry is really remarkable. This paper includes some practical considerations of safety handling of X-ray diffraction apparatus.Following points can be mentioned:(1) Most of accidental hazards result either from mishandling or carelessness.(2) Regal regulations are imperfect at present.(3) The interest of safety control are inadequate.Monitoring and survey techniques were investigated in detail, and it was suggested that the qualitative monitoring of leakage and scattered radiation is important rather than the quantitative dose rate measurements.From several work studies it was showed that unnecessary radiation exposure of operator occurs mainly in the process of tube adjustments and sample positioning.The authors emphasized that following attentions are necessary for practical X-ray protection design.(1) The effective shield is useful for protection.(2) To provide an operation manual is indispensable for safety handling.(3) The consideration for the special characteristics of each equipment is absolutely essential for safety program.
