Explore the uses about Radiation Shielding
Radiation shielding refers to the use of materials that have the capacity to prevent the passage of excessive doses of radiation.
It can also refer to a material that has the ability to prevent the movement of any radiation whatsoever. Perhaps you are wondering why it is important to have materials that can help you to prevent the movement of radiation beyond a certain boundary.
radiation shielding is very important to our health and safety and that of the environment.
Radiations have the potential to do this, however, those that can cause collateral damage to the body cells must be prevented or controlled at all costs.
Radiation from radioactive materials such as polonium and uranium can prove to be very dangerous to the body’s cells.
Radioactive substances are the most dangerous natural substances that produce radiation worth shielding.
Common examples of radiations that are worth shielding against also include gamma and x-ray radiation. These rays have higher penetrating powers compared to alpha rays.
The construction of radiation shielding materials is based on their ability to contain or limit the penetrating power of as particular form of radiation.
