Abstarct: Considering the increasing use of ionizating radiations, particularly gamma and x rays, in various fields such as medicine, industry, agriculture, etc. and given the harmful and destructive effects of these radiations protection concept has a particular importance. Radiation shields are the materials that are placed between the ionizing radiation source and the body that is supposed to be protected which reduces the amount of dose deposition in the body. Selecting the materials used as shields dependes on the energy type and the radiation intensity. In some cases, due to the high volume and high cost, the use of common shields is problematic. Protection against radiation requires the use of efficient methods and design of the high-quality and cost-effective shields. In this study, we have investigated gamma ray shielding and have studied and compared the use of mextallic tungstates with conventional compounds as shields by Monte Carlo simulation using MCNPX code. Then we examined Celestite mineral, copper sheet and lead sheet as gamma ray shielding.
