Radiation Shielding
Radiation ShieldingAgen-689 Advances in Food EngineeringFactors that affect Radiation dose Regulations and procedures have been developed and implemented to limit Radiation dose by regulating the use, storage, transport, and disposal of radioactive material by controlling time,distance and Shielding Time The short the time spent near the source, the smaller the dose Distance The greater the distance the smaller the dose Shielding Use of materials to absorb the Radiation doseShielding material Any material provides some Shielding Iron, concrete, lead, and soil. Shielding ability of a material is determined by the thickness of the material required to absorb half of the Radiation This thickness of the material is called the half-thickness Radiation that has passed through one half-thickness will be reduced by half again if it passes through another half-thickness (HT) The HT depends on the characterist
Types of radiation and shielding α−particles can be stopped, or shielded, by a sheet of paper or the outer layer of skin. β−particles can pass through an inch of water or human flesh. can be effectively shielded with a sheet of Al 1/25 of an inch thick. γ−rays can pass through the human body like x - rays.
