Abstract
The harmful
effects of radiation on human health have long been recognized. These effects
include radiation burns, radiation diseases, shortening of life span, cancer
and hereditary disorders. Therefore, the absorption properties and
applicability of the material used in radiation shielding are very important.
Hence, studies are underway on the development of different types of shielding
materials. In this study, radiation absorption properties of lead (II) nitrate
Pb(NO3)2 coated wall papers were investigated. The wall
papers in different densities (100% precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), 2.5
g, 5 g, and 7.5 g amounts of Pb(NO3)2) and various
thicknesses (0.176-0.236 mm) were prepared and investigated. 4 MeV-energized
electrons were applied to the Pb(NO3)2 coated wall papers
and measurements were taken with the PTW brand electron detector. Also,
theoretical calculations have been done by using WinXCom program. According to
the obtained results, these wallpapers' absorption properties increased
depending on thickness. Thus, it has been seen that the Pb(NO3)2
coated wallpapers can be used with other materials in radiation shielding.

Abstract
Radyasyonun
insan sağlığı üzerindeki zararlı etkileri uzun zamandır bilinmektedir. Bu
etkiler radyasyon yanıkları, radyasyon hastalıkları, yaşam süresinin kısalması,
kanser ve kalıtsal bozuklukları içerir. Bu nedenle, radyasyon zırhlamada
kullanılan malzemenin soğurma özellikleri ve uygulanabilirliği çok önemlidir.
Bu nedenle, farklı koruyucu malzemelerin geliştirilmesi üzerine çalışmalar
devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmada kurşun (II) nitrat Pb(NO3)2
kaplamalı duvar kâğıtlarının radyasyon soğurma özellikleri araştırılmıştır.
Farklı yoğunluklarda (%100 çökeltilmiş kalsiyum karbonat (PCC), 2.5 g, 5 G ve
7.5 g Pb(NO3)2) ve çeşitli kalınlıklarda (0.176-0.236 mm)
duvar kağıtları hazırlandı ve araştırıldı. Pb(NO3)2 kaplanmış kağıtlara 4 MeV-enerjili
elektron uygulandı ve PTW marka elektron detektörü ile ölçümler alındı. Ayrıca,
WinXCom programı kullanılarak teorik hesaplamalar yapıldı. Elde edilen
sonuçlara göre, bu duvar kâğıtlarının soğurma özellikleri kalınlığa bağlı
olarak artmıştır. Böylece, Pb(NO3)2 kaplı duvar
kağıtlarının diğer malzemelerle birlikte radyasyon zırhlamada kullanılabileceği
görülmüştür.
