Abstract
Lead used for radiation shielding is harmful to human body so an alternative material has been required recently. Therefore, we developed a high specific gravity tungsten sheet that is made of composite materials of resin and tungsten that can replace lead. Since the resin-tungsten sheet is manufactured using an original process it is flexible and has equivalent or even higher radiation shielding ability than lead.
