んど使用されていない。従つて、これ等の欠点を
有しない放射線遮蔽透明物質が要望されていた。 In recent years, with the development of the nuclear power industry, the demand for radiation-shielding transparent materials has particularly increased. Lead glass is often used for this purpose. However, lead glass is a solid block, and its shape and dimensions are limited due to the manufacturing process. It is mechanically fragile and it is technically difficult to stack large numbers of them. Moreover, it is easily discolored due to radiation damage. 0 60
It has the disadvantage that it turns yellowish brown when exposed to gamma rays of about 105 rad. Plastics with lead glass containing lead in the plastic have been announced, but although the lead content is low at 20 to 30% by weight and the shielding ability is significantly inferior to lead glass, the light transmittance is low. It is much lower than lead glass, and it also has the disadvantage of becoming yellow due to radiation damage. Although ZnBr 2 solutions have been used in the past, they are now rarely used because they have low light transmittance, are chemically active and corrode many metals, and have low resistance to light and radiation damage. Mostly unused. Therefore, there is a need for a radiation-shielding transparent material that does not have these drawbacks.

A patent application was filed (Japanese Patent Application No. 158800-1983). Both of the heavy liquids in the same application have light transmittance, radiation length (which plays a major role in radiation shielding), light resistance, and radiation resistance, which are comparable to or better than lead glass (SF-5). However, thallium has the same strong toxicity as cadmium, making it difficult to handle and manage. Therefore, it is also an object of the present invention to provide a heavy liquid as a radiation-shielding transparent material that poses little danger in terms of handling and management.
本発明はさらに、長年月の放射線、光の照射に

ことを目的とする。 A further object of the present invention is to provide a radiation-shielding transparent material that does not discolor due to long-term irradiation with radiation and light.
これ等の目的は本発明により達成される。 These objectives are achieved by the present invention.
本発明は沃化亜鉛水溶液よりなることを特徴と

430g is dissolved in 100c.c. of water to form a heavy liquid with a specific gravity of 2.80. The radiation length of heavy liquid is 3.8 cm and that of lead glass is 1.5 cm.
It's double. The average light transmittance is over 95%.

的、化学的に安定なことが好ましい。 Radiation-shielding transparent materials are used in the visible light region (λ = 350 ~
The transmittance of light (600 nm) must be at least 90% or more, and the radiation length must be sufficiently short. In addition, it is preferable that the atomic number Z is as high as possible, the specific gravity is as large as possible, and that it is physically and chemically stable against radiation damage for many years.
沃化亜鉛の水溶液は前述した値で示されるよう

The light transmittance is equal to or higher than that of lead glass, and the shielding ability, light transmittance, resistance to light, and resistance to radiation are all superior to the aqueous zinc bromide solutions used in the past. The method of use is the same as for zinc bromide aqueous solution.

It was discovered that when H 3 PO 2 is added, it is extremely stable against irradiation with moonlight and radiation for many years and does not cause discoloration. The inventor has discovered that although there are a large number of reducing agents, none other than hypophosphorous acid is suitable for this purpose. For example, many reducing agents chemically change with zinc iodide, resulting in color.

Add % by weight. In this way, oxidation of the heavy liquid is completely prevented, and oxidation can be prevented for many years even against intense light and radiation of 10 6 rad or more. Although the specific gravity decreases to 2.40 by mixing with a 50% hypophosphorous acid aqueous solution, the specific gravity can be increased to 2.70 by further incorporating zinc iodide. This heavy liquid has far superior properties as a radiation-shielding transparent material than conventional zinc bromide aqueous solutions. The radiation length is 4.0cm and the specific gravity is 2.70.
It has at least 100 times more resistance to light and radiation than lead glass SF-5. Zinc iodide has no documented toxicity.
