Well you also have for use on non living things gamma ray machines.they use those to inspect for cracks in aircraft landing gear,wing spars stuff like that.I friend did that job (NDI non destructive inspection) in the USAF.

During NCO school we had to do a presentation about our job his was pretty interesting.One of those gamma ray machines could kill a horse in 30 seconds he might have exaggerated that part a little to make everyone laugh but you do not want to get exposed to the rays they emit.They have a way to block the rays so that they do not go very far.

They use Gamma ray machines to inspect trucks and things at boarders and ports.I always wonder they must somehow verify that no people are hidden inside the object to be inspected.I have seen photos that imply other wise.I suppose they shut the machine off right away if they see people inside.
