Popis: Recently, a barium(Ba) and an iodine(I) being studied as a conventional lead(Pb) alternatives of shielding material has excellent shieding rate, but the characteristic x-ray photons in the energy range near 30 keV line is released. In this study, with bismuth oxide(BiO) coupled barium sulfate(BaSO4) double layer, transmitted spectra, shieding rates and relative weighting rates were evaluated to validate the applicability of eco-friendly double layer shieding structure using monte carlo simulations as a prior study. From the evaluation results, in 0.4mm and 0.5mm thickness of BiO layers coupled with top 0.1mm-BaSO4 layer, the shieding rate showed 1.9% and 3.9% higher than 0.6mm thickness of Pb single layer, respectively. In addition, the relative weight also 28% and 34.5% lower than 0.6mm-Pb in 0.4mm and 0.5mm thickness of BiO layers coupled with top 0.1mm-BaSO4 layer.
