 Special Issue "Radiation Shielding Materials (Volume II)"

With the increased use of radiation across vast fields of work, it is necessary to also develop radiation shields that can adequately protect the bodies of workers and patients that come into contact with high-energy photons. Radiation shields, or materials that are used to absorb radiation, are necessary to properly attenuate ionizing radiation, which is defined as radiation that has sufficient energy to detach electrons from atoms. Long-term human exposure to ionizing radiation can cause permanent tissue damage, acute radiation syndrome, cancer, and death in extreme cases. Thus, to prevent these effects, workers and patients must be provided with efficient radiation shields that will lower the levels of radiation to safe enough levels.Get more news about Shielding material,you can vist our website!

When deciding on a material to use to attenuate radiation, several specific aspects of application must be considered, such as the energies of incoming photons, the environmental conditions of the radiation source (indoors or outdoors), whether transparency is necessary, etc. Because of these varying uses, a shield that may be ideal for one specific situation may not be an effective shield in another. Some examples of commonly used radiation shielding materials include concrete, alloys, pure lead, and glasses. All these materials offer their own unique pros and cons but are receiving attention by various researchers in the radiation shielding community to attempt to discover the ideal shielding material for each application.

The Special Issue on “Radiation Shielding Materials (Volume II)” will focus on novel materials used for radiation protection applications in different fields, such as medicine, science, nuclear industry, electronics, and aerospace.

Wireline Coring Equipment

 Wireline Coring Equipment This is achieved using an inner tube with a core barrel head incorporated with latches that lock into the adaptor and locking couplings at the top of the core barrel outer tube. The inner tube is lowered into the outer barrel through constant internal bore drill tubes (drill rods). It then locks in position by means of the latching mechanism but is able to rotate through the bearing section incorporated in the core barrel head. At the end of the core run a recovery tool (overshot) is lowered through the drill string on a wireline. This locates on the top of the inner tube and retracts the latches when the wireline is hoisted. The inner tube and core can then be lifted to the surface.Get more news about Wireline Stop Ring ,you can vist our website! This technique has considerable advantages over conventional coring as the drill string does not have to be run in and out of the hole at the end of each core run. The wireline coring system has become the fav...
