Talk:Lead shielding

I am removing the statement "Lead shielding is used near areas where depleted uranium shells are being fired.". As DU is only slightly radioactive and is itself used for shielding purposes I do not believe to be correct. If a reference is provided I would be delighted to be proved wrong.

Article should mention the 70-80keV hard X-rays created on the lead shielding (as seen in spectroscopy) and what causes it. There are probably other peaks created as well. Charlieb000 (talk) 01:25, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
 * bremsstrahlung is mentioned in the article. Other things like the necessary purity and danger of certain contaminant metals becoming radioactive, and the radiation induced in lead-glass reactor windows should be discussed as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:24 (talk) 21:23, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

=Demron= I think that the Demron reference should be removed from this article, as alternatives should be covered in radiation protection. Thoughts? --nbach (talk) 08:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
