Cs 137 Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shield

Cs 137 tungsten alloy radiation shield may be a tungsten alloy radiation protection container used for storing and transporting the isotope Cs-137 injection. As a medical gamma radioactive source, Cs-137 injection can be used for heart scanning to assist in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and its lesions, as well as for the diagnosis of thyroid tumors and cancer treatment. However, 137Cs has a greater damage effect on the human body, which can cause acute and chronic damage, or cause soft tissue tumors, such as thyroid cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer and so on. Therefore, a tungsten alloy shield is needed to keep its radiation within the treatment range and reduce radiation damage to medical staff and patients.

However, do you know why choose tungsten alloy as a radiation shield material? Because tungsten alloy has excellent X-ray and γ-ray shielding properties, and has characteristics of high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, durability, environmental protection and non-toxicity. Moreover, the radiation shielding performance of tungsten alloy is much better than traditional shielding materials such as lead. For example, to obtain the same radiation protection performance, the volume of the tungsten alloy shield requires only one third of the volume of the lead shield. In addition, lead is a toxic heavy metal. Therefore, it is extremely likely to apply Cs 137 tungsten alloy radiation shield at the large-scale.
