FQG66) and all high-density materials (lead, iron, concrete etc.).
Time
Remain as short as possible in the area exposed to radiation.
Distance
Keep as far away from the radiation source as possible. The radiation intensity decreases in
proportion to the square of the distance from the radiation source.
