the space environment consists mainly of high-energy charged particles, such as protons, electrons and heavy ions. they are originating from several sources including galactic cosmic radiation, solar flares and van allen belts. high energy electromagnetic radiation and neutrons have also been measured on spacecraft. although shielding can reduce the effect of space radiation it cannot be elimin...

Significant efforts have been made by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) to establish a reliable basis of equivalent and effective doses due radionuclides. The ICRP over years has updating dose coefficients include recent developments make it more realistic. This perspective highlights some issues that warrant methodology used for estimating 210Po humans. need underp...

background: the shielding methods in radiotherapy due to delivering an accurate radiation dose to cancer tissues and avoiding unnecessary dose to normal tissues are very important. these methods include lead standard blocks, individual molding and multi leaf collimator (mlc). the mlc method is not still common in iran radiotherapy centers. individual molding is better than the lead block shield...
