There are several ways to protect the human body from radiation.
Ceramic radiation shielding material.
As we experienced difficulties during the reconstruction of the concrete shielding wall of the linac room brick type of shielding material which can be fast assembled in situ with a flexibility to be shaped any form was expected to replace.
In 2005 silflex tungsten shielding was developed and certified by entergy and ano in 2007 for use in the nuclear industry.
The radiation sources 137cs and 60co were used to calculate attenuation.
In the present work eight types of ceramic materials have been used as a shielding material and tested against gamma ray each type of ceramic modified as glazed and unglazed.

Mtaika mori abelia ocn ne jp 2 ofuna chuo hospital kamakura 247 0056 japan.
These materials have good radiation shielding factors but have many problems such as being opaque to visible light and only be suited to limited numbers of applications.
One of these ways is shielding.
This is a long list of properties for one material.
The use of radiation in diagnosing and treating patients has significantly advanced the field of medicine and saved or extended countless lives advances in technology and more sophisticated applications have improved standard treatments for the benefit of the patient.
Is the iso 9001 2015 manufacturer of silflex shielding the award winning nonhazardous non lead radiation shielding.
In this study we developed a new ceramic material with a high shielding capacity against the high energy gamma radiation from 137 cs and 60 co sources.
Glasses have many advantages such as high optical transparency ease of preparation in different ways ease in formatting and low cost 6 7 8.
With one or more suitably prepared and distributed radiation shielding materials dispersed in the cold fired chemically bonded oxide phosphate ceramic cement matrix.
In the last decade or so ceramic composite materials have increasingly been proposed as a desirable reactor material both inside and outside the core.
Therefore it is common to design multiple layers of shielding structures.
