Reltron Can Cause Face Burns
The Reltron and its higher‑power variant, the Super‑Reltron, emit bremsstrahlung X‑rays whenever the relativistic electron beam is dumped into the anode. Operating the devices in saturation mode—or pushing voltage, current, or pulse width beyond their design envelope—significantly raises X‑ray intensity and produces harder photons up to the beam’s full energy (~1 MeV). The resulting radiation can cause severe facial burns, termed “sunburn faces,” and can be lethal within seconds at close range. Existing shielding, typically ~11 cm of lead, is calibrated for nominal parameters and becomes inadequate under over‑driven conditions.
