Radiation Shield Effect of Recycled Waste Plastic Products

Abstract

Recycled products have been prepared with immiscible waste plastics and their effects on the radiation shield were examined. The results obtained were as follows: Radiation dosage in the air decreased exponentially rapidly even in the absence of the shield materials. Recycled products having 15~24cm thickness showed apparently radiation shield effect and dosage decreased to ca. 40~60% at 30cm distance from radiation sources.
