Tungsten Alloy Shielding For Radioactive Tracer Technique

Tungsten alloy shielding can be used to shield the radiation released from the radioactive tracer technique. Radioactive tracer technique is used to track the passage of a sample of substance through a system. The substance is "labeled" by including radioisotopes in its chemical composition. When these decay, their presence can be determined by detecting the radiation emitted by them. Then the movement condition and change rule of the substance can be distinguished. Radioactive tracer technique has the characteristics of high sensitivity, high quantitative accuracy, simple method, accurate localization and conforming to the physiological conditions, etc.

Radioactive tracer technique has been widely used in industrial production, agriculture and animal husbandry, health care, life sciences, and other fields. In agriculture and animal husbandry, it can be used to study the fertilizer absorption rule of crops and discovery the life cycles, migratory habit, mating behavior and foraging behavior of insects, parasites, fishes and animals; in medicine, it is mainly used for the diagnosis of the disease; in industrial production, it provides the possibility of using a variety of high-efficiency testing methods and automatic control methods for the production process, solving many technical and theoretical issues, such as determining the diffusion rates of certain elements within the metal sheet; in the life sciences, it can dynamically observe the physiological and biochemical processes within the cell or in vivo at molecular level, understanding the material basis of life activities. Check the chemical reaction process of research of environmental pollution radioisotope tracer technique can also be used. Radioactive tracer technique can be also used for the detection of environmental pollution and research of a chemical reaction process.

Radioactive tracer technique has found an increasingly wide utilization in our life. But due to the rays released form it will cause harm to human body, the use of tungsten alloy radiation shielding in the radioactive tracer technique is necessary. Generally, tungsten alloy shielding is made up of tungsten heavy alloy which has high density and great shielding effectiveness. Thus tungsten alloy shielding can shield the radiation to protect the staff from radiation damage.
