“…Nevertheless, on the disadvantageous side, if nuclear power generation is exposed, an accident could affect the health and safety of the public living in vicinity of it. Nowadays, the use of gamma rays in medical diagnostics [2,3], nuclear diagnostics, surgery, industry, agriculture [4,5] and research are increasing rapidly [6]. Therefore, the knowledge of gamma-ray interaction is gaining more importance from perspective of shielding against their effect on biological matter.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the linear attenuation coeﬃcient, the mass attenuation coeﬃcient, Half Value Layer. Tenth Value Layer and Mean Free Path for four diﬀerent shielding materials such as aluminium, iron, zirconium and tungsten. By using the gamma-radiation energies emitted from 152Eu, 22Na, 137Cs, and 60Co radioactive sources. For this purpose, the attenuation measurements were performed using NaI(TI) detector. Calculated values of all parameters of the all shielding materials were compared with each other. The results of all presented parameters show that, tungsten has the best radiation shielding compared to other shielding materials. Then, the obtained parameters were compared with the theoretical values.
