Abstract

The provision of adequate shielding is one of the methods of controlling exposure to x-rays. To ensure that adequate protection is afforded to both workers and members of the public, adequate shielding barrier is very important and essential to attenuate the intensity of x-rays to recommended and acceptable dose limits. The standard or general concept of provision of radiation shielding barrier for radiation installation begins with the designing of radiation shielding structures by a qualified expert (medical physicist or health physicist) to ensure that the required degree of protection is achieved.
