Radiation shielding technology.
An historical review of the development of shielding techniques for indirectly ionizing radiation is presented, along with a summary of techniques at various levels of sophistication for shielding design and analysis.
متن کاملShielding of Gamma Radiation
In the discussion that follows, we assume that gamma rays are the radiation of interest. The principles discussed also apply to monoenergetic x rays; in many cases of concern in x-ray shielding, however, the photons are produced in the bremsstrahlung process that yields a wide and continuous distribution of photon energies. Specialized shielding approaches have been developed to carry out shiel...
متن کاملRadiation Shielding for Fusion Reactors
Radiation shielding requirements for fusion reactors present different problems than those for fission reactors and accelerators. Fusion devices, particularly tokamak reactors, are complicated by geometry constraints that complicate disposition of fully effective shielding. This paper reviews some of these shielding issues and suggested solutions for optimizing the machine and biological shield...
متن کاملMeasuring Space Radiation Shielding Effectiveness
Passive radiation shielding is one strategy to mitigate the problem of space radiation exposure. While space vehicles are constructed largely of aluminum, polyethylene has been demonstrated to have superior shielding characteristics for both galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events due to the high hydrogen content. A method to calculate the shielding effectiveness of a material relative t...
متن کاملVector Calculus
Four different vector fields on (x,y)-plane A vector field on a sphere ♣ Curves. A smooth curve is a continuous curve (no gaps or discontinuities) with no corners (no abrupt changes in slope at a point such as you would get from the intersection of two lines). A continuous and differentiable produces a smooth function. A path C is called closed if its initial and final points are the same point...
