    There are about 200 X-ray machines operating in Armenia. All of
    them are radiation sources, with some machines posing risk both for
    radiologist doctors and patients, the head of State Committee for
    Nuclear Security, Ashot Martirosyan stated.

    As he noted at July 29 news conference, 10% of X-ray machines in
    Armenia are outdated and in need of replacement. "A list of medical
    centers using outdated equipment was complied, with X-ray units soon
    to be replaced," Ashot Martisoryan pointed out.
