StemRad - Model 360 Gamma - Shielding Reactor Personnel from Gamma Radiation - Datasheet

Emergency response personnel at nuclear reactors employ time and distance to keep their doses as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). Yet, in emergency situations these brave individuals may be inadvertently exposed to higher doses than planned.  In such cases, the third leg of ALARA – shielding – should be employed. While being adequately protected from alpha and beta radiation, up until the advent of the StemRad 360 Gamma, there was no meaningful shielding from gamma radiation.
