ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and construction for shielding a source of radiation. The method includes the step of surrounding the source of radiation with a granite wall. The wall provides a interlocking block construction which prevent the blocks from separating. The wall further includes foundation blocks positioned below a ground surface to stabilize the wall. Additionally, the wall includes cap blocks which have sloped top surfaces to deflect rain water.
