Ideal Bismuth Shielding Applications
Many industries, such as medicine, industrial radiography, and nuclear research have adopted bismuth as a radiation shielding material.
- Medical: Bismuth shielding is used to reduce the exposure dose from computed tomography (CT) scans. Shields are placed over the radiosensitive regions of the patient to attenuate the x-ray beam.
- Industrial radiography: Because bismuth shielding is customizable and portable, it is a versatile option in industrial radiography, allowing for precise non-destructive testing while also meeting environmental safety and regulatory standards.
- Nuclear power generative and research: Bismuth shielding can be tailored to specific radiation intensities and experimental setups, offering a customizable solution to fit the specific requirements of various nuclear research projects.
