Tungsten has high density and hardness, in fact almost 60 percent higher than lead, which are desirable characteristics for radiation shielding applications. Unlike neutron shielding using neutron absorbing elements (B or Gd), -ray shielding mainly utilizes heavy metals such as Pb, Fe, and W. Among these, W is an effective material for absorption of -rays because the electron density of W is 1.7 times higher than that of Pb.
