The distribution of leakage radiation from an unshielded diagnostic-type x-ray tube housing

Creator:

Gragg, Royce Lynn

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of leakage radiation from two unshielded diagnostic-type X-ray tube housings. This information was used to determine the shielding required in the housings to bring them into compliance with the definition of a diagnostic-type protective tube housing, as set forth by...

Effect of variable roof thickness on fallout protection and seismic forces in multistory structures

Creator:

Boyles, Thomas Victor

Abstract:

Development of long-range nuclear weapons in recent years and the subsequent threat of nuclear war has led to an increased awareness of the need for civilian protection. Adequate shelter design can provide substantial protection against delayed radioactive fallout. Protection can generally be greatly increased by more massive roof construction to...

Design and analysis of radiation shielding eyewear

Creator:

Spackman, David A.

Abstract:

The recent reductions to the international dose limit recommendations for the lens of the eye have renewed interest in radiation protection strategies in interventional fluoroscopy, where eye-lens radiation exposure occurs frequently. Radiationshielding eyewear can significantly reduce lens dose in these scenarios, but accurate protection factors are elusive because they depend...

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...
