Abstract: In a radiation shield in which a bag having flexibility is filled with a shielding liquid, a side of the bag is integrally equipped with reinforcement members which have a higher strength than the material of the bag and are longitudinally disposed and spaced horizontally. The bag filled with the shielding liquid is restrained from being deformed (swollen in its lower portion) by the reinforcement members having a higher strength than the material of the bag, so that the radiation shield is maintained in a predetermined thickness and exhibits predetermined performance.

Abstract: A radiation shielding body unit comprises a bag, a reinforcing wall connecting between inner wall surfaces of the bag opposite to each other, a liquid supply/discharge port for radiation shielding liquid, provided in the bag, and a hole portion provided in the bag for engagement with a connection device used when the bag is supported by suspension. And a radiation shielding body comprises a frame and a plurality of the above-mentioned radiation shielding body units, each of the radiation shielding body units is suspendedly supported by the frame through a connecting device engaged with the hole portion of each of the radiation shielding body units.
