Yep, that's close enough. Although we mostly use a gamma radiation source as x-rays are electronically generated, we aren't near a plug and the equipment is often cumbersome.
There are portable x-ray generators that run off a 20v dewalt battery. But their effective penetrative power means it's only viable for very thin walled pipes.

Not quite. We climb / rappel structures, mostly oil rigs. And use a gamma radiation source to check for weld defects.
We're known as bombers because the source container, a techops sentinel 880 or a SCAR projector look a lot like bombs and we blast radiation all over the place causing issues to the nucleonic sensors so over the place.

I'm a rope access industrial radiographer.
Edit: colloquially known as a "bomber"

I'm still not convinced he isn't Banksy.

A heads up for anyone else having an issue with the android app and the new version with the https server. There is a segment of the nginx config file you will need to remove that was a workaround for version 10.8 that is no longer needed and should be removed. Can't remember which section right now.
Will try to edit this tomorrow.

I just got a new puppy and when she poops she starts facing one directing the turns 180 while pooping then scoots over to the side a bit to finish.
Is she broken? Should I do an RMA?
