Various configurations of shielding materials within shielding layers, such as for use in shielding radiation from implanted radioactive carriers, are discussed herein.

The present invention discloses a form-in-place conductive and waterproof colloid, being composed of: dimethyl siloxane or dimethylvinyl-terminated or vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane; hydroxy terminated polydimethylsiloxane; dispersant; dimethyl, methylhydrogen siloxane crosslinking agent; adhesion promoter; Pt catalyst; forming agent; hydrocarbon solvent; Nickel Graphite; thickening agent; Trimethylated silica; and inhibitor. With the implementation of the present invention, no production mold or die cutter is required to simplify the process of applying the colloid and reduce the cost of applying, and with the characteristics of being providing waterproof and dustproof capability for enclosures, providing excellent adhesion capability, providing excellent compressibility and resilience, isolating EMI and providing EMI shielding capability at the same time. Besides, the space required is small when forming or applying making the colloid suitable for applications to small or mini devices and save the cost of material and cost of implementation.

Embodiments herein disclose a shielding curtain that is configured to block electromagnetic radiation from passing through it. The shielding curtain may be a flap portion of a larger shielding curtain or a single, unitary body that includes a single mounting bead and a plurality of flaps. The shielding curtain is formed of a polymer material that has a uniformly dispersed particulate material. Electromagnetic radiation emitted by an inspection system is blocked by the uniformly dispersed particulate material.

A radiation protection device for providing protection of a body part that includes active bone marrow from ionizing radiation may include a radiation protection component configured to be placed adjacent to and externally cover the body part so as to reduce a radiation dose absorbed in that body part.

The conventional radiation shielding materials are made using lead, barite and hematite ore which are either toxic, costly and are non-replinshable possessing limited functionality. In view of above, we develop a novel process for making advanced non-toxic Red Mud based functional radiation shielding materials utilizing appropriate novel matrixes like Advanced geopolymer, geopolymeric-polymeric matrix, putty, cement and phosphatic based matrix and are also compatible with conventional matrixes. The appropriate physico-chemical consolidation and or densification of red mud using advanced or conventional matrix helps in obtaining functional radiation shielding material by simultaneous and synergistic chemical reactions among various mineralogical and chemical compounds of red mud with complementary various chemical compounds present in citrus fruit peel waste especially citric acid to form nano gel material to obtain the fine tailored shielding powder. The developed material has broad application spectrum from diagnostic radiation installations like diagnostic X-ray to CT scanner room.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system comprising a substantially transparent radiation shield, which comprises transparent ammonium metatungstate. The transparent ammonium metatungstate can have a density of greater than 1.5 gram/(cubic centimeter). The substantially transparent radiation shield can be installed on tanks and/or pressure vessels, used as a transparent radiation shield in medical shielding/devices, used as windows in glove boxes, and any application where effective radiation shielding is needed with transparency. The substantially transparent radiation shield can be used in one or more articles worn by a human.

A device for protection of a body from radiation includes at least one flexible garment. Each section of the flexible garment is configured to shield a region of a surface of the body. Each section complementarily attenuates self-shielding by internal structure between the region and an interior region of the body such that radiation at the interior region is attenuated to a predefined attenuation level.

There are provided a method for manufacturing a magnesium fluoride sintered compact to be free from cracks and chipping and to have high relative density, a method for manufacturing a neutron moderator, and the neutron moderator. The method for manufacturing a magnesium fluoride sintered compact includes a powder filling process for filling a magnesium fluoride powder material into a die by tapping, and an intermediate body sintering (pulsed electric current sintering) process for performing pulsed electric current sintering for sintering the filled magnesium fluoride powder material while applying a pulsed electric current thereto, to obtain a magnesium fluoride sintered compact (intermediate body).

A light-weight radiation protection panel comprising radiation protection layer and a flexible material. The radiation protection layer comprises a plurality of a shielding material distributed in repeated and adjacent units of geometrical shapes, the light-weight radiation protection panel being able to be embodied in a wearable garment providing flexibility.
