What is transmissivity?
Cons of polyethylene
- Not very dense in its normal state
- Low melting point compared to aluminum
(250 - 350 °F)
Null Hypothesis - If sheets of recycled HDPE are used to shield radiation, then
they will have a worse average performance than pure HDPE.
Procedure
Molding Plastic:
- Graph all data gathered and derive the relationship between thickness and
radiation permeability
