SURFACE COVERINGS FOR ATTENUATING IONIZING RADIATION, FACILITIES INCLUDING THE SURFACE COVERINGS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

A surface covering is provided that attenuates ionizing radiation. The surface covering includes a radio-opaque layer and is configured to be positioned over a surface from which ionizing radiation emanates. The surface covering may be configured to cover a surface of a facility or a surface present at a facility. The surface or surfaces that a surface covering may be configured to cover may depend upon the nature of the facility in which a particular surface covering is configured to be used.
