  2. Radiation protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_protection

    Graded-Z shielding is a laminate of several materials with different Z values (atomic numbers) designed to protect against ionizing radiation. Compared to single-material shielding, the same mass of graded-Z shielding has been shown to reduce electron penetration over 60%. [18]

  3. Lead shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_shielding

    Lead shielding refers to the use of lead as a form of radiation protection to shield people or objects from radiation so as to reduce the effective dose. Lead can effectively attenuate certain kinds of radiation because of its high density and high atomic number; principally, it is effective at stopping gamma rays and x-rays.

  4. International Commission on Radiological Protection - Wikipedia

    The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is an independent, international, non-governmental organization, with the mission to protect people, animals, and the environment from the harmful effects of ionising radiation.

  5. History of radiation protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../History_of_radiation_protection

    Unprotected experiments in the U.S. in 1896 with an early X-ray tube (Crookes tube), when the dangers of radiation were largely unknown.[1]The history of radiation protection begins at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries with the realization that ionizing radiation from natural and artificial sources can have harmful effects on living organisms.

  6. Radiation hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hardening

    Radiation hardening is the process of making electronic components and circuits resistant to damage or malfunction caused by high levels of ionizing radiation (particle radiation and high-energy electromagnetic radiation), [1] especially for environments in outer space (especially beyond low Earth orbit), around nuclear reactors and particle accelerators, or during nuclear accidents or nuclear ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_Protection...

    Radiation Protection Convention, 1960 is an International Labour Organization Convention to restrict workers from exposure to ionising radiation and to prohibit persons under 16 engaging in work that causes such exposure. (Article 6)
