A comparison of measured and simulated exposure rates near tungsten-based medical transport pigs

Creator:

Newman, Errol D. I.

Abstract:

A lack of data concerning tungsten-based medical shields, specifically unit dose transport pigs, may lead to unnecessary exposure to medical personnel. Available research comparing lead to sintered tungsten shows that tungsten is approximately 1.5 - 10.0 times more effective as a radiation shield. However, this research lacks high-energy vs. low-energy...
