Radiation transmission data for radionuclides and materials relevant to brachytherapy facility shielding

To address the limited availability of radiation shielding data for brachytherapy as well as some disparity in existing data, Monte Carlo simulation was used to generate radiation transmission data for Co 60 , Cs 137 , Au 198 , Ir 192 , Yb 169 , Tm 170 , Cs 131 , I 125 , and Pd 103 photons through c...
