Universal windows application for the parameters calculation of shields against ionizing radiation

Abstract

Proper design of shields against ionizing radiation is a critical factor considering safety of the humans who are exposed to such radiation. In many cases, the design procedure of the shielding is well defined by the government authorities. However, up to now in Poland there was no software dedicated to such design. This study addresses people who work to prepare the design specifications for shielding in medical sites, which comply with the polish standards. In these work we would like to present a software (based on Universal Windows Platform) tool supporting automatic computation of the shield parameters.
