Lead has long been recognized as a highly effective material in providing protection from various sources of radiation, and as such, has become a standard in the design of radiation protection systems. Lead for Radiation Protection has been written to familiarize architects, designers, specifiers, users and engineering students with the radiation shielding properties, design, and fabrication information on lead and lead based products. No shielding systems should be undertaken without consulting with a qualified radiation consultant or certified radiation physicist.
