Özet
In parallel with the developments in technology, the use of radiation in many areas such as medicine, industry, agriculture and obtaining electrical energy through nuclear power plants has not only facilitated social life but also brought about many health problems due to exposure. It has become inevitable to be protected from the harmful effects of radiation because it poses a risk to human health. There are three basic rules in radiation protection: time, distance and shielding. The most effective method is armoring. Protective clothing is especially important for those working in radiation areas. In this study, thericoton fabric, which is widely used in daily life, was coated with different amounts of barite (0%, 40%, 50%, 60%) and its radiation absorption properties were examined. For this purpose, the transmission rate, which is an important parameter in terms of shielding properties, was investigated by using 511, 835 and 1275 keV gamma energies emitted from22Na and54 Mn radioactive sources.
