Radiation shielding
usually refers to shielding of bodily tissues against the penetration of
radioactive rays. These shields are often termed as biological shields, as they
provide a barrier between the radioactive source and the human body. It is a
mass of absorbing material placed around the radioactive source or a reactor to
minimize the radiation level. In order to prevent radiation, it is necessary
that the absorbing materials are built and placed as per industry compliance
and measures. Using a “lead glass screen” and wearing “lead aprons” is another
safe way to prevent exposure.
