DETERMINE THE ABILITY OF GLASS BOTTLES OF MEDICINES SUBSIDIZED SOME ADDITIVES ON THE ATTENUATION OF GAMMA RAYS FOR USE AS SHIELDS
Abstract
From the idea of glass recycling of waste product and making it as protective shielding against gamma radiation , Were brought the crash of bottle glass from state company for glass industry in anbar province, Due to the aim of this search is to replace the toxic materials by a new material not toxic on the human. Lead powder and Barium sulfate with different weights of (0,0.2,0.4,0.6, 0.8,1)gm were mixture with the bottle glass. Where was the use of the source of cesium -137 in the examination of the samples was adopted the intensity and Build up factor as the main factors to judge the strength of the shield and the results show that the process is less intensity values to increase the proportion of lead or barium sulfate in samples processed for the crach of glass bottles. The Buildup factor values they range between up and down and in different proportions.
