Because of the density of lead, its high atomic number, and stable isotopes, lead is ideal for stopping gamma and x-ray radiation. Lead is very effective at shielding x-ray and gamma radiation. Compared to other shielding materials, lead is less expensive, easily available, and easy to process into finished radiation shielding products. It is one of the most versatile forms of shielding materials that is used to overcome common challenges such as limitations on space, price, and installation associated with designing and building radiation shielding. Lead has numerous applications, but it’s mostly used in nuclear power, nuclear medicine, diagnostic imaging and non-destructive testing for radiation protection and shielding. Lead and tungsten are the most common materials to shield gamma radiation, however, they both have different advantages.
