Tungsten alloy shielding pot is a container that is specially designed for storing and transporting medical radionuclide preparations. The shielding function of the tungsten alloy shielding pot is much better than the traditional lead shielding pot. Due to its high density, the volume of tungsten alloy is 1/3 smaller than lead, but shielding function is equivalent. So, tungsten alloy shielding pot is more popular than lead shielding pot.

Tungsten alloy radioactive source shield may be a tungsten alloy container for storing and transporting medical radioactive sources, or may be a shield used for medical equipment containing radioactive sources (such as bone densitometer, gamma camera, gamma knife, cobalt 60 treatment machine, etc.) to prevent a large amount of radioactive energy exposure, reduce radioactive pollution, and improve safety. Tungsten alloy radioactive source shields can provide a more reliable and environmentally friendly radiation shielding effect than traditional lead shields.

Tungsten alloy radioactive source container is a new type of radiation shielding container that is made of environmentally friendly and non-toxic high density alloy - tungsten heavy alloy. Tungsten alloy radioactive source container that has better radiation shielding effect than lead container can be used to store and transport medical radioactive sources such as cobalt-60, cesium-137, iridium-192, iodine-131, iodine-125 and technetium-99m.

Tungsten alloy shield is widely applied in medical equipment for diagnosis or treat. Tungsten alloy shield may be some tungsten alloy leaves on radiotherapy equipment such as electronic linear accelerators. It has been reported that tungsten alloys are outstanding materials for shielding of gamma rays and X rays as tungsten alloys have multifarious properties such as high radiation absorption, good corrosion resistance, high ductility, high durability, high density, good adaptability, high machinability, low toxicity and high strength. Therefore, tungsten alloy shields are often used to replace lead shields.
