Shielding and zones in industrial radiography
Short answers to the questions that come back with every X-ray room design. Every example is computed with the same engine that runs in the Osłony RTG calculator.
Attenuation factor, the formula from the standard and the full calculation on real numbers — primary and scattered radiation separately.
Dose thresholds, the legal basis and example zone distances for a 200 kV tube in industrial radiography.
Lead equivalent converted into building materials, the density correction and layered barriers.

These calculations support the shielding design. The final assessment, the classification of workers and the approval of the design are made by the head of the organisation in consultation with the radiation protection officer.
