Ceramic Radiation Shielding Material

There are several ways to protect the human body from radiation.

Ceramic radiation shielding material.

In the last decade or so ceramic composite materials have increasingly been proposed as a desirable reactor material both inside and outside the core. 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. Glasses have many advantages such as high optical transparency ease of preparation in different ways ease in formatting and low cost 6 7 8. The radiation sources 137cs and 60co were used to calculate attenuation.

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. American ceramic technology inc. 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.

In 2005 silflex tungsten shielding was developed and certified by entergy and ano in 2007 for use in the nuclear industry. Radiation shielding is imperative as radiation can be a serious concern in nuclear power facilities industrial or medical x ray systems radioisotope projects particle accelerator work and a number of other circumstances. Radiation shielding materials are used for a variety of radiologic applications. Mtaika mori abelia ocn ne jp 2 ofuna chuo hospital kamakura 247 0056 japan.

Is the iso 9001 2015 manufacturer of silflex shielding the award winning nonhazardous non lead radiation shielding. A composition of matter and method of forming a radiation shielding member at ambient temperatures in which the composition of matter includes a cold fired chemically bonded oxide phosphate ceramic cement matrix. Therefore it is common to design multiple layers of shielding structures. With one or more suitably prepared and distributed radiation shielding materials dispersed in the cold fired chemically bonded oxide phosphate ceramic cement matrix.

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.
