Individual dose estimates calculated by Dosimetry System 2002 (DS02) for the Life Span Study (LSS) of atomic bomb survivors are based on input data that specify location and shielding at the time of the bombing (ATB). A multi-year effort to improve information on survivors' locations ATB has recently been completed, along with comprehensive improvements in their terrain shielding input data and...

Electromagnetic shields are designed to optimize the performance for shielding effectiveness and reflectivity. Multilayered laminates of different materials are developed to achieve excellent results in terms of not only in shielding effectiveness but also for reflectivity. In this paper, a three layered laminate is considered for estimation of the required parameters in the X-band frequency ra...

After introducing the subject or shielding high energy accelerators, point source, line-of-sight models, and in particular the Moyer Model, are discussed. Their use in the shielding of proton and electron accelerators is demonstrated and their limitations noted, especially in relation to shielding in the forward direction provided by large, flat walls. The limitations of reducing problems to th...

NMR signals of 7Li, 23Na, 35C1, 39K , 79Br, 87Rb and 127I have been measured in various alkali and halogen salt powders relative to well defined aqueous solutions. W ith the known shielding constants of some of these solutions the nuclear magnetic shielding constants of the alkali and chlorine nuclei in crystalline powders were evaluated in the atomic reference scale. The theoretical values of ...

The radiation shielding for an Advanced Photon Source (APS) insertion device beamline using a mirror as the first optical component is discussed. The beamline layout for a specific Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation Collaborative Access Team beamline (sector 2 of SRI CAT) is described, and the methodology used to determine the radiation shielding is presented. Results indicate that, by using...

In this paper, an efficient technique based on modal method of moments (MoM) is presented, the influence of apertures’ shape and calculation point of SE on electromagnetic shielding effectiveness has been studied. A very good agreement among the simulation results of the proposed technique, results available in the literature and experimental results is observed. The results of the present anal...

When shielding from cosmic heavy ions, one is faced with limited knowledge about the physical properties and biological responses of these radiations. Herein, the current status of space shielding technology and its impact on radiation health is discussed in terms of conventional protection practice and a test biological response model. The impact of biological response on optimum materials sel...

The ligand-field density functional theory (LFDFT) approach is employed for calculations of the Co nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shielding tensor of all four diastereoisomers (kkk, kkd, kdd, and ddd) of tris(1,2ethanediamine) cobalt(III) complex ion, [Co(en)3] . The obtained values split into two groups according to the point group of the diastereoisomers. The influence of the individual rin...

Shielding data are necessary for the architectural planning of ion accelerator facilities. In the present case the main radiation component is neutron radiation. For the architectural planning in advance it is necessary to give a rough cost quotation for the shielding measures. In an early stage of a project rapid methods for the calculation of shielding thicknesses are required. Line-of-sight ...

Basic principles of reducing exposure to electromagnetic fields are reviewed in this article. Measures to reduce exposure can be divided into organisational/administrative and technical/engineering actions. Both strategies are briefly analysed and the basic principles of the theory of shielding are presented. A definition of shielding effectiveness (SE) is given, and the results from the genera...
