The measurement of X-ray radiation exposure rate in operator’s room with Pb glass at the Prof. Dr. W. Z. Johannes hospital, Kupang has been done. The measurement of radiation exposure rate for radiation before and after passing through the Pb glass was done using surveymeter. There are six points of measurement: at the upper-left, upper-right, upper-midle, bottom-left, bottom-right, and bottom-midle sides. The results of measurements show that Pb glass reduce the radiation exposure rate until 99,51%, and when flouroscopy is activated, the radiation exposure rate at the operator’s room is 0,6 mR/hour. This value is below the value of dose limit (NBD). Keywords: radiation exposure rate, Pb glass, radiaion at the operator’s room
