Itararé Group Sandstone as a Sustainable Alternative Material for Photon Radiation Shielding
The materials typically used for radiation shielding include lead, concrete, and polymers. However, some of these materials can be toxic or very expensive to produce. This raises interest in using more readily available natural materials, such as rocks, as an alternative. In this study, we analyzed...
