Tungsten Shielding troduction

Tungsten radiation shielding can be implemented as an alternative to lead shielding. Tungsten has a much higher density than lead (11.3 g/cm3), depending on the alloy (17.0-19.3 g/cm3).

Tungsten is mostly used as an alternative for lead shielding when the dimensions are small. Due to the high price of tungsten it will become expensive at larger scale.
