OR
All radiation machines in your possession have been made incapable of producing radiation.¹

¹“Incapable of producing radiation” means the radiation machine has been dismantled in such a way that the x-ray tube is incapable of energizing. Unplugging an otherwise functional machine and/or placing it in storage does not meet this definition and the machine must remain registered.
