Calculations of the Passage of Gamma‐Quanta through a Polymer Radiation‐Protective Composite

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

We have investigated the radiation‐protective characteristics of a thermoplastic polystyrene composite material filled with a high‐dispersion modified lead oxide as well as the dependences of the energy (flux) build‐up and transmission factors and albedos on the energy and protective‐shield thickness. Calculations of the integral characteristics of the radiation‐protective properties of materials have been done.
