- ed.
Properties of shielding materials for gamma radiation, including occurrence and extraction, physical properties, fabrication, and applications and design considerations are presented for lead and lead alloys, iron and iron alloys (steel), uranium, tungsten, bismuth, copper, aluminum, soil, ceramics, water, transparent materials (silicate and lead glasses), concretes, and air. Neutron shielding properties are given for lead and lead alloys, iron and iron alloys, uranium, tungsten, bismuth, copper, aluminum, beryllium, graphite, water, organic materials (rubber, plastics, oils, paraffins), wood and compressed wood, metallic and saline hydrides, cadmium and cadmium alloys, boron and boron compounds, boral, boron-graphite, combinations, concretes, and air. Laminated shields are discussed, the effects of heating on the properties of concretes are given, and optimization of the choice of shielding materials is considered. Extensive tables and figures.
