DATA ON SHIELDING FROM IONIZING RADIATION PART 2 : SHIELDING FROM X-RADIATION
This section of the recommendation presents the collected data required for the estimation of shielding against aprimary X-ray beam. Graphs of the variation of exposure rate for a range of kilovoltage (kV) and filtration are given;such data may be used when accurate measurement of exposure rate is not possible. The transmission data is givenfor lead and concrete shields since they are the commonest materials encountered, and in addition some limited gutdance is given on the equivalent shielding in other materials. The information given in this section may be used with confidence for design purposes, when due allowance is made for any limitation in the data or methods to which references are made in appropriate parts of the text. The methods of calculation are illustrated with a number of examples.
