See full text

An expansion gap radiation shield is formed from a flexible container housing a radiation shielding fluid, that is located within a variable gap in permanent shielding. The invention reduces radiation dose rates outside the gap when the radiation sources are located on the opposite side of the gap. The device accommodates varying gap sizes with no loss of shielding capability.
