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.

The invention concerns a disposable individual overall (1) for protection against radioactive particles, comprising a zip closure (FG1) from top to bottom and on the front in the trunk portion (3). The invention is characterized in that at least one other closure (FG2) extends from top to bottom in at least one of the legs (31, 32) of the trouser part (3) and comprises two strips (BA31, BA32) capable of being connected along another prescribed meshing line (LE3), at least one junction point (S) connecting two of the strips (BA31, BA32) beyond the other line (LE3) being present between the closure (FG1) and the other closure (FG3) in the closed state, a breaking member (CU) being provided on at least one of the closures (FG1, FG3) in order to allow breaking of the junction point (S) by pulling on the breaking member (CU).

A method and a device connects a partially flexible protective cover (2) sealed against the environment and forming a barrier between a contaminated area (12) and an uncontaminated area, to a partially flexible safety cover (20) by transferring the protective cover (2) out of the contaminated area (12) inverting the protective cover (2) over an opening such that its inside is turned out and then severing it from the safety cover (20) and closing the opening; or transferring the protective cover (2) from the contaminated area (12) by sheathing the protective cover (2) with the safety cover (20) as it is pulled through a passage and subsequently severing of both covers (2, 20) from the safety cover (20) and closing the sheathing; or pulling the protective cover (2) back into the contaminated area (12) and then sealing the ends shut to sever the safety cover (20) by forming a further sealed joint between adjacent film parts.

Disclosed herein are protective garments and methods for using the same. In one aspect, the garment includes a garment body configured to be worn on a portion of a wearer's body, the garment body comprising at least one protective segment configured to block a predetermined level of radiation. Also disclosed herein are method of making the disclosed garments and methods for using the disclosed garments.

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.
