OPINION

PER CURIAM:

1

Jessie Rose, widow of miner Guy T. Rose, seeks review of the decision and order of the Benefits Review Board affirming an administrative law judge's (ALJ) denial of survivor's black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C.A. Secs. 901-45 (West 1986 & Supp.1993). Rose contends that the ALJ failed to adequately consider all of the x-ray evidence contained in the record. Our review of the record discloses that the decision of the Board is based on substantial evidence and that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. Rose v. Westmoreland Coal Co., No. 90-1379 (B.R.B. Mar. 24, 1993).

2

AFFIRMED.
