Tungsten Alloy Shielding Better than Lead Protection?-1

The most effective utilization of tungsten, in one of its many forms, will be achieved after evaluation of several key factors (space/environmental sonsiferations, long-term storage/disposal, and potential for multiple applications) on the prospective application. Though not cost-beneficial for "ordinary" shielding applications, when properly selected as the shielding material, dose avoidance exceeding that of lead will be achieved.
