Lead Sheet is an ideal shielding material for radiation protection.

1. Principle of lead radiation protection

Metal lead has a very magical function is radiation protection. It can well block X-rays and radioactive rays. In the hospital, when doctors make X-ray diagnosis, there is usually a lead plate on the chest to protect; in the atomic energy reactor, the staff often wear a large apron containing lead. So why can lead prevent radiation? Experts say that the structure of lead is the same as other substances, there is no special place, but the atomic number and density of lead are relatively high, so it can be very good radiation protection, generally used in buildings.

2. What is lead radiation protection

The protection scope of lead radiation includes: X-ray, α - ray, β - ray and γ - ray, so the lead protective clothing can provide protection for the medical staff working in the radiology department of the hospital, the patients who need to receive X-ray radiation and the staff working in the radiation environment of the nuclear industry.
