This article firstly compares the tungsten and leads physical properties,price and environmental performance,then calculates the thickness of tungsten and lead with the gamma ray 10% transmission when the photon energy are 0.1 MeV,0.2 MeV,0.5,1 MeV and 1.25 MeV,and makes a comparison chart.Finally,it establishes a commonly used shielding model,through which to validate whether the thickness of theoretical calculation can achieve an effective shielding effect by MCNP program.The results showes that tungsten as a new type of shielding material ...
