Why Tungsten is Good Choice for Radiation Protection

Tungsten material could reduce the size and volume to have a better radiation absorption environment, which is much superior to lead, because of its high density rage from 17.0g/cm3 to 18.5g/cm3, then much denser. When you need to direct a specific amount of radiation to a targeted area, tungsten provides a control you need even under extreme, high-heat conditions.


Therefore, tungsten is popular for radioactive source containers, gamma radiography, source holders for oil-well logging and industrial instrumentation; also used widely for medical radiation protection such as in cancer therapy, syringe injections radioactive protection, X-ray examination, gamma knife operation, etc.
