RadiationRadiation is usedRhodium-based alloys in manyRhodium-platinum alloys areas such as medicalMedical uses, academic and scientific applicationsApplication, industryIndustry, nuclear power plantsNuclear power plants, and its use is increasing in many areas such as agricultureAgriculture, spaceSpace research and defense industryDefense industry with developing technology. The adopted ways to protect from ionizing radiationIonizing radiation are timeTime, distanceDistance, and shieldingShielding. Although radiation protectionRadiation protection is limited with timeTime and distanceDistance, the amount of radiationRadiation exposed can be reduced by shieldingShielding to reliable levels. In cases where the timeTime and distanceDistance are insufficient, the shieldingShielding process must be taken into account.
