Description

Radiation protection sheet and manufacturing method of a radiation protection sheet {RADIOACTIVITY PROTECTIVE SHEET AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING RADIOACTIVITY PROTECTIVE SHEET}

The present invention relates to a radioactive protective sheet and a method of manufacturing the same.

The clothes considering the adverse effects on the human body by radioactive materials include A. radioactive protective clothing which prevents radioactive materials such as radioactive dust from being deposited on the human body, and B. radiological protective clothing which shields the radiation emitted by the radioactive material.

In the above-mentioned radioactive protective clothing (A), even if radioactive dust is floating in the air, the radioactive dust is deposited on clothes without being deposited on the human body, and then the radioactive dust and the like deposited on the clothes are washed away to make the radioactive dust Dust can be prevented from adversely affecting the human body. However, the radiation protective clothing does not shield the radiation itself, but the wearer is exposed to radiation even when the radiation protective clothing is worn.

On the other hand, in the said radiation protective clothing (B), when working in a nuclear power plant, it is used in order to prevent an exposure of an operator. As this radiation protective suit, a layer containing lead in order to shield radiation is generally used. However, lead is concerned about health damage, and careful attention is required when disposing of the radiation protective clothing after the shelf life.

Moreover, as said radiation protective clothing (the said B), what has a polymer layer which mixed the radiopaque material with the polymers, such as polyurethane, is also proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-538136). This publication exemplifies barium sulfate, tungsten, and the like in addition to lead as a radiopaque material. However, since the radiation protective clothing described in this publication is designed to have a high radiation shielding effect, it is necessary to include a large amount of radiopaque material, resulting in a very heavy and expensive solution.

Today, in addition to special places such as nuclear power plants, that is, places of daily living, an increasing number of people are considering protecting their bodies from radiation exposure by radiation. By the way, even if the radioactive protective clothing (A) is worn, the radiation is exposed to radiation. In addition, since the radiation protective clothing (B) is very heavy and expensive, it is not practical to wear it in everyday life.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 2008-538136

Then, this invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, and an object of this invention is to provide the radiation protection sheet which can shield radiation easily and correctly, and can be used conveniently in daily life, and its manufacturing method.

The invention made to solve the above problems,

Chlorosulfonated polyethylene,

Radiation shielding particles

And a radiation shielding layer containing

The radiation shielding particles,

(a) tungsten or a tungsten compound, and / or

(b) barium or barium compounds

Phosphorus radioactive protection sheet.

Since the said radiation protection sheet is equipped with the radiation shielding layer containing chloro sulfonated polyethylene and radiation shielding particle | grains, this radiation shielding layer can shield radiation. In particular, since the binder of the radiation shielding layer is mainly composed of chlorosulfonated polyethylene, the radiation protective sheet can shield radiation not only by the radiation shielding particles but also by the binder. For this reason, when the radiation protection suit is produced using the said radiation protection sheet, for example, radiation can be shielded accurately compared with the conventional radiation protection suit. Moreover, the said radioactive protection sheet is excellent in weather resistance, ozone resistance, chemical resistance, etc. by containing chloro sulfonated polyethylene. For this reason, the said radiation protection sheet can be used suitably for the article etc. which long-term use is anticipated outdoors. Moreover, since the said chloro sulfonated polyethylene is excellent in color stability and shows rubbery elasticity at room temperature, it is easy to process it into garments, such as a radioactive protective clothing, and also the comfort when wearing this garment is also favorable. The radioactive protective sheet is a radiation shielding particle, which is (a) tungsten or a tungsten compound, and / or (b) a barium or barium compound, and does not use lead. When disposing of the waste, disposal methods and environmental pollution prevention measures are not troublesome.

In the radioactive protective sheet, the radiation shielding particles preferably contain barium sulfate. By employing barium sulfate as the radiation shielding particles in this manner, the radiation shielding particles can be accurately shielded by the radiation shielding particles which are relatively easy to obtain.

The radioactive protective sheet may be provided with a plurality of radiation shielding layers. Thereby, for example, even if the coating amount of the coating machine used when manufacturing the said radiation protection sheet is limited, even if the target film thickness is not obtained by one coating, the said several radiation shielding layer is laminated | stacked. The desired film thickness can be achieved by doing this.

The radioactive protective sheet may include, as the radiation shielding layer, a radiation shielding layer containing (a) tungsten or a tungsten compound and (b) a radiation shielding layer containing a barium or barium compound. Thereby, the color tone of an outer surface can be selected, maintaining the radiation shielding effect of the said radioactive protection sheet. Specifically, since the (a) tungsten or tungsten compound is mainly black, and the (b) barium or barium compound is mainly white or colorless, the color tone of the outer surface can be appropriately selected. For example, when the radioactive protective sheet is used for an article that is less likely to be contaminated, (a) a radiation shielding layer containing tungsten or a tungsten compound is arranged on the outer surface, and on the contrary, an article in which a bright color tone is preferable. When used in, (b) a radiation shielding layer containing a barium or barium compound can be arranged on the outer surface. Furthermore, the radiation shielding layer containing (b) barium or a barium compound is arrange | positioned at the outer surface of the said radioactive protection sheet, and red or blue pigment other than the said (b) barium or barium compound is added, or the said 2nd radiation shielding A picture may be printed on the outer surface side of the layer to impart designability to the radioactive protective sheet. Thus, since designability can be provided to the said radioactive protection sheet, each radioactive protection sheet can be distinguished by making a difference in external appearance. That is, for example, it becomes possible to arrange | position so that a content of radiation shielding particle | grains, the magnitude | size of the said radiation protection sheet (size of the coating | cover formed with the said radiation protection sheet), etc. can be distinguished by color.

When the said radiation protection sheet is equipped with the said radiation shielding layer containing (a) tungsten or a tungsten compound, and (b) barium or a barium compound as said radiation shielding layer, the average particle of (a) tungsten or a tungsten compound The ratio of the average particle diameter of the (b) barium or the barium compound to the diameter may be 0.01 or more and 0.1 or less. As a result, (b) barium or barium compounds having a small average particle diameter enter a gap generated between (a) tungsten or tungsten compounds having a large average particle diameter, and thus the radiation shielding particles in the radioactive protective sheet. Density can be increased and the radiation shielding effect of the said radioactive protection sheet can be improved.

It is preferable that the ratio of (a) barium or a barium compound with respect to said (a) tungsten or a tungsten compound is 5 mass% or more and 50 mass% or less of the said radioactive protection sheet. Thereby, (b) barium or a barium compound can fully enter the space | interval which arises between said (a) tungsten or tungsten compounds, and the density of the radiation shielding particle in the said radioactive protection sheet can be improved. As a result, the radiation shielding effect of the said radioactive protection sheet can be heightened further.

It is preferable that the ratio of the said radiation shielding particle in the said radiation shielding layer is 30 mass% or more and 85 mass% or less. Thereby, the radiation shielding effect of the grade which can effectively protect a wearer etc. from radiation can be given to the said radiation protection sheet, and manufacture can be performed comparatively easily.

Moreover, it is preferable that the area density of the said radiation shielding particle in the said radiation shielding layer is 0.1 g / cm <^2> or more and 1 g / cm <^2> or less. Also by this, the radiation shielding effect of the extent which can effectively protect a wearer etc. from radiation can be suitably given to the said radiation protection sheet.

The radioactive protective sheet may further include a substrate layer. Thereby, the intensity | strength of the said radioactive protection sheet can be improved.

The radioactive protective sheet may further include an antifouling layer on the outermost layer. Thereby, contaminants, such as a radioactive substance, can become difficult to adhere to the outer surface of the said radioactive protection sheet. As a result, the wearer or the like can be more effectively protected from radioactivity, the radioactive material hardly adheres to the radioactive protective sheet, and the attached radioactive material can be easily removed.

The antifouling layer should just be a resin layer whose main component consists of olefin resin. An olefin resin layer has high surface tension and can exhibit the outstanding antifouling property.

Moreover, another invention made in order to solve the said subject,

A material for dispersing (a) tungsten or a tungsten compound and / or (b) a barium or barium compound as a radiation shielding particle in a binder containing chlorosulfonated polyethylene as a main component using a solvent to prepare a radiation shielding layer forming material. Preparation process,

A sheet forming step of forming the radiation shielding layer forming material in a sheet body

It is a manufacturing method of the radiation protection sheet which has a.

According to the said manufacturing method, the radiation protection sheet provided with the radiation shielding layer containing chloro sulfonated polyethylene and the said radiation shielding particle is obtained. And this radiation protection sheet can protect a wearer easily from radiation and radiation in daily life as mentioned above.

Here, "radioactivity" means the ability to emit radiation when the unstable nucleus changes to a stable nucleus. In addition, "radiation" means electromagnetic waves, such as X-rays and (gamma) rays emitted from the said radioactivity (radioactive substance), and particle beams, such as (alpha) rays, (beta) rays, and neutron rays. In addition, an "average particle diameter" is a volume average particle diameter, and is a value measured at 23 degreeC by the dynamic light scattering measuring method. Specifically, using a submicron particle size analyzer ("NICOMPMODEL370" manufactured by Nozaki Sangyo Co., Ltd.) as a measuring device, as a measurement sample, the radiation which disperse | distributed so that a radiation shielding particle might be 0.1-2.0 mass% in tetrahydrofuran. Shielding particle dispersion was used. In addition, "plane density" means the ratio (mass) in which the radiation shielding particle exists per unit area (1 cm <^2> ) of the planar direction of the said radioactive protection sheet.

As described above, the present invention can provide a radioactive protective sheet and a method of manufacturing the same, which can easily and accurately shield radiation and can be used conveniently in daily life.

The radiation shielding particles include (a) tungsten or tungsten compounds and (b) barium or barium compounds.

The chlorosulfonated polyethylene inhibits crystallinity and imparts rubber elasticity by introducing chlorine into polyethylene having crystallinity. Since chlorosulfonated polyethylene does not contain a double bond in the main chain, it is excellent in weather resistance, ozone resistance, heat resistance, flame retardancy, etc., and since it contains chlorine which is a halogen, a radiation shielding effect is also expected. Since the said radiation protection sheet 1 has rubber elasticity by containing such chloro sulfonated polyethylene as a binder, it is easy to deform | transform and process it according to the shape of what is to be coat | covered, For example, as a decorative material, such as a coat, a hat, a glove, etc. It can use suitably.

Can be.

As a manufacturing method of the said chloro sulfonated polyethylene, it can produce by chlorination and chloro sulfonation, for example by making chlorine and sulfite gas react with the polyethylene melt | dissolved in the solvent using a catalyst. As said polyethylene used as a raw material, a high density polyethylene, a low density polyethylene, etc. are mentioned, for example. When high density polyethylene is used as the raw material polyethylene, chlorosulfonated polyethylene having high mechanical strength and excellent processability is obtained, and when low density polyethylene having long chain branching is used as the polyethylene, the solution viscosity is low when dissolved in a solvent. Chlorosulfonated polyethylene excellent in coatability is obtained. As the chlorosulfonated polyethylene, a trade name "TOSO-CSM" part number "TS-320" made by Tosoh Corporation can be used.

The (a) of tungsten or a tungsten compound, a tungsten compound is a compound containing the tungsten is not particularly restricted but includes, for example, carbide (WC, W ₂ C, etc.), oxides (WO, WO ₂ and the like), nitrides, And complex compounds with other metals such as borides or tungsten alloys. As the (a) tungsten or tungsten compound, tungsten and its carbide which are readily available and relatively inexpensive are preferable. As tungsten, a brand name "high purity W powder" manufactured by Nippon Tungsten Co., Ltd. can be used.

It is preferable that the said (a) tungsten or tungsten compound is a fine powder. (a) As an upper limit of the average particle diameter of a tungsten or a tungsten compound, 10 micrometers is preferable, 7 micrometers is more preferable, 5 micrometers is still more preferable. On the other hand, as a minimum of the said average particle diameter, 0.5 micrometer is preferable, 1 micrometer is more preferable, and 2 micrometers is still more preferable. When the average particle diameter of the (a) tungsten or tungsten compound is larger than the upper limit, the (a) tungsten or tungsten compound may fall off from the radioactive protective sheet, while (a) the average particle diameter of the tungsten or tungsten compound If it is less than this lower limit, there exists a possibility that (a) tungsten or a tungsten compound will disperse | distribute uniformly to a radiation shielding layer.

Among the barium compounds or barium compounds, barium compounds are particularly suitably used because of their availability, and any other compound containing barium can be used. For example, barium chloride, hydroxide Barium, barium titanate, etc. can be employ | adopted.

It is preferable that the said (b) barium or barium compound is a fine powder. As an upper limit of the average particle diameter of the said (b) barium or barium compound, 2.3 micrometers is preferable, 1.8 micrometers is more preferable, 1.5 micrometers is still more preferable. On the other hand, as a minimum of the said average particle diameter, 0.3 micrometer is preferable, 0.8 micrometer is more preferable, and 1 micrometer is further more preferable. If the average particle diameter of the (b) barium or barium compound is larger than the upper limit, there is a possibility that (b) the barium or barium compound cannot be closely filled in the gap generated between the tungsten or tungsten compounds. On the other hand, when the average particle diameter of (b) barium or a barium compound is smaller than the said lower limit, the handling of (b) barium or a barium compound may become difficult at the time of manufacture.

Moreover, it is preferable that the said (b) barium or barium compound is smaller in average particle diameter than the said (a) tungsten or tungsten compound. As a ratio of the average particle diameter of (b) barium or a barium compound with respect to the average particle diameter of the said (a) tungsten or tungsten compound, it is preferable that it is 0.01 or more and 0.1 or less, It is more preferable that it is 0.03 or more and 0.08 or less, It is 0.04 or more and 0.06 or less More preferred. By (a) the average particle diameter of the barium or barium compound with respect to the average particle diameter of the tungsten or tungsten compound in the above range, the particles are formed in the gap generated between the (a) tungsten or tungsten compounds having large particles. Small (b) barium or barium compounds can enter effectively. Thereby, the density of the radiation shielding particle in a radiation shielding layer can be raised, and the radiation shielding effect of the said radiation protection sheet 1 can be improved.

As an upper limit of the ratio of (a) barium or barium compound with respect to said (a) tungsten or tungsten compound, 50 mass% is preferable, 43 mass% is more preferable, 34 mass% is further more preferable. On the other hand, as a minimum of the ratio of (a) barium or a barium compound with respect to (a) tungsten or a tungsten compound, 5 mass% is preferable, 8 mass% is more preferable, and 10 mass% is further more preferable. (a) If the ratio of (b) barium or barium compound to tungsten or tungsten compound is greater than the upper limit, (a) the ratio of barium or barium compound to excess is generated between the gaps between tungsten or tungsten compounds. Thus, the effect of adding the barium or the barium compound may be weakened, and the coating solution containing both of them may be in a petrified state, and the coating may be difficult, and the radioactive protective sheet 1 may be There is a fear that flexibility is impaired. On the other hand, when (a) the ratio of (b) barium or barium compound to tungsten or tungsten compound is smaller than the lower limit, (a) the amount of (b) barium or barium compound to the gap generated between tungsten or tungsten compounds There exists a possibility that a ratio will become small and (a) the gap which arises between tungsten or tungsten compounds will not be able to fill sufficiently with (b) barium or a barium compound.

The radioactive protective sheet 1 may contain a substance having a radiation shielding effect in addition to the (a) tungsten or tungsten compound and (b) barium or barium compound. Examples of such a substance include a substance containing an element having an atomic number of 30 or more, and specifically, for example, zinc, yttrium, strontium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, molybdenum, tantalum, tin, lead, bismuth or these The compound etc. are mentioned. Among them, tin, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, zirconium, and compounds thereof are preferable in view of availability.

As an upper limit of the ratio of the said radiation shielding particle in the said radiation shielding layer 2, 85 mass% is preferable, 80 mass% is more preferable, 70 mass% is further more preferable. On the other hand, as a minimum of the ratio of the said radiation shielding particle in the said radiation shielding layer 2, 30 mass% is preferable, 35 mass% is more preferable, 40 mass% is further more preferable. When the ratio of the said radiation shielding particle in the said radiation shielding layer 2 is larger than the said upper limit, the ratio of the chloro sulfonated polyethylene used as a binder becomes relatively small, and the intensity | strength of the said radiation shielding layer 2 may fall. Moreover, there exists a possibility that it may become difficult to coat the coating liquid containing radiation shielding particle | grains, and the flexibility of the said radioactive protection sheet 1 may be impaired. On the other hand, when the ratio of the said radiation shielding particle in the said radiation shielding layer 2 is smaller than the said lower limit, the radiation shielding effect of the said radiation shielding layer 2 will fall and it will become impossible to protect a body etc. effectively from radiation. There is concern.

As an upper limit of the plane density of the said radiation shielding particle in the said radiation shielding layer 2, 1g / cm <^2> is preferable, 0.8g / cm <^2> is more preferable, 0.6g / cm <^2> is further more preferable. On the other hand, as a minimum of the plane density of the said radiation shielding particle in the said radiation shielding layer 2, 0.1 g / cm <^2> is preferable, 0.3 g / cm <^2> is more preferable, 0.4g / cm <^2> is more preferable. . When the density of the radiation shielding particle in the said radiation shielding layer 2 is larger than the said upper limit, there exists a possibility that the said radiation protection sheet 1 may become too heavy, On the other hand, the said radiation in the said radiation shielding layer 2 When the density of shielding particle | grains is smaller than the said lower limit, there exists a possibility that the radiation shielding effect of the said radiation shielding layer 2 may fall, and it may become impossible to protect a body etc. from radiation effectively.

As an upper limit of the thickness of the said radiation shielding layer 2, 5 mm is preferable and 3 mm is more preferable. On the other hand, as a minimum of the said thickness, 0.2 mm is preferable and 0.5 mm is more preferable. When the thickness of the radiation shielding layer 2 is larger than the upper limit, the radioactive protection sheet 1 may be too thick, making it difficult to deform and process along the shape of the material to be coated, while the radiation shielding layer ( When the thickness of 2) is smaller than the said lower limit, there exists a possibility that sufficient radiation protection effect may not be obtained, and there exists a possibility that the intensity | strength of the said radioactive protection sheet 1 may become inadequate.

The radioactive protection sheet 1 may be provided with the antifouling layer 3 in the outermost layer. Thus, by providing the antifouling layer 3 in the outermost layer of the radioactive protective sheet 1, it is possible to make the radioactive substance hard to adhere to the outer surface of the radioactive protective sheet 1. As a result, the wearer or the like can be more effectively protected from radioactivity, the radioactive material is less likely to adhere to the radioactive protective sheet, and the attached radioactive material can be easily removed. As said antifouling layer, the resin layer which a main component consists of olefin resin can be employ | adopted suitably. An olefin resin layer has high surface tension and can exhibit the outstanding antifouling property. As the antifouling layer 3, for example, a film containing a photocatalytic substance, a film subjected to hydrophilic surface treatment, or a film subjected to antistatic treatment may be employed.

The film containing the photocatalytic material decomposes contaminants such as molds and bacteria attached to the outer surface of the radioactive protective sheet 1 by ultraviolet rays from the outside to keep the outer surface of the radioactive protective sheet 1 clean. have. As a result, the radioactive substance may be less likely to adhere to the outer surface of the radioactive protective sheet 1.

Examples of the photocatalytic material include TiO ₂ , ZnO, SrTiO, CdS, GaP, InP, GaAs, BaTiO ₃ , K ₂ NbO ₃ , Fe ₂ O ₃ , Ta ₂ O ₅ , WO ₃ , SnO ₂ , Bi ₂ O ₃ , NiO, Cu ₂ O, SiC, SiO ₂ , MoS ₂ , InPb, RuO ₂ , CeO ₂ , and the like. Among them, titanium oxide (TiO ₂ ), titanium peroxide (peroxotitanic acid), zinc oxide (ZnO), tin oxide (SnO ₂ ), strontium titanate (SrTiO ₃ ), tungsten oxide (WO ₃ ), bismuth oxide (Bi ₂ O) ₃ ), iron oxide (Fe ₂ O ₃ ) is preferred. As a particle diameter of the said photocatalytic substance, the smaller one is preferable because it is excellent in photocatalytic activity, Specifically, 50 nm or less is preferable as an average particle diameter, and 20 nm or less is more preferable.

As a compounding quantity of the photocatalytic substance in the film | membrane containing the said photocatalyst substance, it is more preferable that a high photocatalytic activity is obtained, and 10 mass% or more and 70 mass% or less are specifically preferable. If the blending amount of the photocatalytic material is less than 10% by mass, the photocatalytic activity may be insufficient. On the other hand, if the blending amount of the photocatalytic material is more than 70% by mass, the photocatalytic activity is increased, but the adhesion to the adjacent radiation shielding layer is high. There is a possibility of becoming insufficient, the surface wear strength of the antifouling layer becomes insufficient, and there is a possibility that the outdoor durability is lowered.

The photocatalytic material is preferably used after being supported on the inorganic porous fine particles. As a result, the photocatalytic substance can be uniformly dispersed in the antifouling layer. Examples of such inorganic porous fine particles include silica, (synthetic) zeolite, titanium zeolite, zirconium phosphate, calcium phosphate, zinc phosphate, hydrotalcite, hydroxyepatite, silica alumina, calcium silicate, magnesium aluminate silicate, and diatomaceous earth. Etc. can be mentioned. The average particle diameter of the inorganic porous fine particles is preferably 0.01 μm or more and 10 μm or less, more preferably 0.05 μm or more and 5 μm or less. In addition, in order to support the photocatalytic material on the inorganic porous fine particles, it is preferable to perform a surface treatment applying a sol-gel thin film production process using a metal alcohollat containing the photocatalytic material.

As thickness of the film containing the said photocatalyst substance, 0.1 micrometer or more and 10 micrometers or less are preferable. If the thickness is less than 0.1 µm, the antifouling property may not be sufficiently obtained. On the other hand, if the thickness is more than 10 µm, the flexibility of the antifouling layer is lowered, and there is a fear that cracking is likely to occur.

Moreover, since the outer surface of an antifouling layer becomes hydrophilic in the film which performed the said hydrophilic surface treatment process, when the water droplet adheres to the surface of the said radioactive protection sheet 1, the surface tension of this water droplet can be made small. As a result, since the water droplets spread and flow down into the water film, even if contaminants such as radioactive substances adhere, they can be washed away by rain or the like to keep the outer surface of the radioactive protective sheet 1 clean. As a specific method of the said hydrophilic surface treatment process, the method of apply | coating hydrophilic materials, such as a silica and a titania phosphate type compound, etc. are mentioned.

In addition, the film subjected to the antistatic treatment may make it difficult to generate static electricity on the outer surface of the radioactive protective sheet 1. As a result, it is difficult to attract dust and dust in the air by static electricity on the outer surface of the antifouling layer, and the radioactive material may be less likely to adhere to the outer surface of the radioactive protective sheet 1. As a specific method of the antistatic treatment, for example, conductive metal oxide fine particles such as tin oxide, antimony oxide, antimony oxide-zinc oxide composite, antimony oxide-tin oxide composite (AT0), and indium oxide-tin oxide composite (IT0) are used. The method of apply | coating the containing paint to the outermost surface of the said radioactive protection sheet 1, etc. are mentioned.

Moreover, the said radiation protection sheet 1 can add various additives in the range which does not inhibit the objective of this invention other than the above. As such various additives, for example, dyes, pigments, inorganic reinforcing agents, plasticizers, processing aids, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, lubricants, waxes, crystal nucleating agents, plasticizers, mold release agents, hydrolysis inhibitors, antiblocking agents, antistatic agents, antifogging agents, Preservatives, rust inhibitors, ion traps, flame retardants, flame retardant aids, inorganic fillers, organic fillers and the like.

The upper limit of the art aeration amount of radiation protective sheet 1, for example, 60L / m ² / sec and more preferably 50L / m ² / sec. On the other hand, as a minimum of the said aeration amount, 20L / m <^2> / sec is preferable and 30L / m <^2> / sec is more preferable. When the ventilation amount of the said radioactive protection sheet 1 is larger than the said upper limit, the air permeability of the said radioactive protection sheet 1 is too high, and there exists a possibility that a wearer may be exposed by the passage of fine radioactive dust, etc., On the other hand, the said radioactive protection sheet If the airflow amount of (1) is smaller than the said lower limit, sufficient air permeability is not obtained and there exists a possibility that heat and steam which a wearer gives off cannot fully be dissipated to the outside.

As a water vapor transmission rate of the said radioactive protection sheet 1, it is preferable that it is 100 g / m <^2> / 24hr or less, for example, It is more preferable that it is 50g / m <^2> / 24hr or less, It is still more preferable that it is 10g / m <^2> / 24hr or less, It is non-permeable Is particularly preferred. If the water vapor transmission rate of the said radioactive protection sheet 1 is larger than the said upper limit, permeable radioactive water will not acquire sufficient radiation shielding effect, and a wearer etc. may be exposed. Moreover, as a lower limit of the water vapor transmission rate of the said radioactive protection sheet 1, it is preferable that it is 1 g / m <^2> / 24hr or more. In addition, this water vapor transmission rate is the measured value measured at the temperature of 40 degreeC, and 90% of a relative humidity based on JISZO208 cup method.

<Radioactive protective clothing>

The said radioactive protective sheet 1 can be used suitably as a raw material of a radioactive protective suit by cutting and sewing by a well-known method. Since the radioactive protective clothing can prevent the radioactive material from adhering to the wearer or the like, it is possible to effectively protect the wearer from radioactivity. Moreover, since the radiation protection suit prepared using the said radiation protection sheet 1 is equipped with the radiation shielding layer 2, radiation in daily life can be shielded and a wearer can be easily protected from exposure.

<Advantages>

Since the said radiation protection sheet 1 which consists of the said structure is equipped with the radiation shielding layer 2 containing chloro sulfonated polyethylene and radiation shielding particle | grains, this radiation shielding layer 2 enables a wearer etc. to carry out in daily life. It can effectively protect from radiation. Moreover, since the said radiation protection sheet 1 contains chloro sulfonated polyethylene, it is excellent in weather resistance, ozone resistance, chemical resistance, etc., and can be used suitably for the article etc. which are supposed to use for long term outdoors. Moreover, since the said chloro sulfonated polyethylene is excellent in color stability and exhibits rubbery elasticity at room temperature, it is easy to process it into garments, such as a coat, a hat, and a glove, for example, and it is also comfortable when it is worn. Moreover, by providing the antifouling layer in the outermost layer, the radioactive protective sheet 1 can improve the antifouling property of the radioactive protective sheet 1, thereby protecting the wearer and the like more effectively from radioactivity, Secondary contamination, such as the radioactive substance attached to the said radioactive protection sheet 1 unintentionally being moved to another place, can be prevented effectively.
