As used in 410 IAC 5-5, the following definitions
				  apply:
"ANSI" means the American National Standards Institute.
"Enclosed radiography" means industrial radiography conducted
				  in an enclosed cabinet or room and includes cabinet radiography and shielded
				  room radiography.
(1) "Cabinet
				radiography" means industrial radiography conducted in an enclosure or cabinet
				so shielded that every location on the exterior meets the limitations specified

				an enclosure (hereinafter termed "cabinet") which, independent of existing
				architectural structures except the floor on which it may be placed, is
				intended to contain at least that portion of a material being irradiated,
				provide radiation attenuation, and exclude personnel from its interior during
				generation of x-radiation. Included are all x-ray systems designed primarily
				for the inspection of carry-on baggage at airlines, railroads, bus terminals,
				and in similar facilities. An x-ray tube used within a shielded part of a
