Description

The γ ray generated by nuclear material has a strong radiological impact on operators, a practical shielding method is to adopt the plumbum glass. This article researches human thyroid, using MC universal software--MCNP4B to simulate the personnel thyroid absorbed dose with various thickness of the plumbum glass when operation. (authors)
