آثار خليط الإيبوكسي كبريتات الباريوم على توهين الإشعاع القصير الطول الموجي.
Radiation protection against short wavelength radiation have beeen studied by using Barium
sulfate-Epoxy mixture. The outcome of this research showed a good new information about
the ability of barium sulfate-Epoxy mixture to protect the humans and environment against
short wavelength rays. There is an easy procedure, low cost and available materials to
construct the shielding instead of that high cost shielding. Increasing barium sulfate ratios in
barium-epoxy mixture leads to increased gamma ray attenuation with decreasing gamma
photon energy. The results of high attenuation of gamma ray is due to the prevent of the ray
to transimitted through the mixture. A new procedure for radiation protection are used in the
labs and work places, which were used the radioactive materials. Short wavelength radiation
causes hazards on health of humans and environment, the measurement of gamma photons
transmission through barium-epoxy mixture are investigated. The count of CPS is done by
maestro software after applying the mixture on cement block. There were two decay energys
of gamma ray emitting at 59.5 keV and 26.3 keV. The scattering of gamma ray was studied
at various angles.
