Alternative Radiation Shielding Materials for Gamma Rays

The studies to product new shielding materials to eliminate and minimize harmful effects of radiation have been more important issue since the last big nuclear accident happened in Fukushima-Daiichi reactors on March 11 2011. As a result of the current increasing demand of nuclear technology in the world humans are being exposed more and more to the damaging effects of radiation. This book offers convincing data of new natural shielding materials which can be thought as alternative to the standard shielding materials used for protection from radiation.
