Tungsten alloy shield for storing radioactive resource is made of tungsten heavy alloy with many advantages that lead shields do not have, such as high radiation attenuation, rasy to keep clean & sterilize, non-toxic and environmental, dimensionally stable up to 1000 ℃ and hard & durable (no need for steel or plastic coating). It is usually used as a container for storing radioactive materials, such as collimator isotopes, gamma cameras, cobalt remote therapeutic equipment and nuclear reactors.
Although lead shields have long been used to store and transport radioactive materials, they pose environmental hazards. In addition, large amounts of lead can be effectively screened. Tungsten alloys do not have these drawbacks, and they are also environmentally friendly. Its density is more than 50% higher than that of lead. It can provide more effective shielding with fewer materials.
