Popis: Radioactive emission is widely applied in different fields of sciences, in various technologies, and in medicine. For its safe use the protective screens shall be used that limit the impact of radiation on a human being. The paper deals with study and analysis of opportunities for applying different materials for protecting buildings and premises from radiation. Studies have shown that phlogopite micalex has high radiation resistance. Calculations of masses of conventional panels made of different materials ensuring tow-fold and ten-fold attenuation of X-ray and gamma radiation are presented. Studies revealed that micalex is the most promising and economically feasible material that can be used for those purposes. A new area for micalex application, namely, for radiation protection of buildings and structures of different purpose has been proposed.
