ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of a radiation shield are disclosed. One non-limiting embodiment of the radiation shield may comprise a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The first layer may include a neutron moderating material. The second layer may be adjacent the first layer and may include a neutron absorbing material. The third layer may be adjacent the second layer, and may include a photonic radiation attenuating material. At least the first layer and the second layer may be removable from the radiation shield.
