Hi Adam,

Thanks for the suggestion.  The procedure for lead lining of x-ray room
walls can actually be found on the web and I ran into some sites last week.
Very interesting plans and also discussions on how to handle the tough spots
like overhead lights, pipes in the wall, etc.  Nothing is left unshielded
when doing walls and ceilings due to the chance of radiation leakage through
the holes.

Jack
