Tungsten Heavy Alloy Radiation Shielding

With the rapid development of medical science, more and more radiation instruments are used in our lives. Medical instruments x-ray and nuclear power stations have become widespread and are now affecting all our lives. It is essential that people paid more attention to radiation and even more important for the institutions to protect public from the radiation exposure and to make sure to protect every radiation source of X-ray radiation, gamma radiation (energetic electromagnetic radiation), radiation of alpha particles (helium atoms) beta particles (electrons) and cosmic radiation, etc.

In order to protect patients, doctors, nurses, and other people who may be exposed to radiation, sources of the radiation must be safely separated and shielded. It is crucial that holding and delivering instruments for radioactive materials would keep the radiation levels low enough, not to create harmful effects of ionizing radiation such as breast cancer, skin cancer, etc. Lead and steel are the traditional protection materials, but tungsten alloy radiation shielding is no doubt the best solution. Excellent radiation absorption, twice the density of lead, and good physical resistance are the main reasons to use tungsten alloy radiation shielding.
