This is a very cost-effective back-up in case that system fails". As a back-up in the event of doomsday scenarios such as war, seeds of crops and wild plants are being stored in bomb-proof, flood-proof, radiation-proof vaults.
Adjuvant therapy consists of radiotherapy by either external beam radiation or vaginal vault brachytherapy, depending on the patient's age, myometrial invasion, LVSI, and tumor grade on final pathology [18, 19].
The seeds are stored in sealed glass jars in subzero temperatures in a radiation-proof underground vault, minimizing the risk to the precious trove from everything from a nuclear blast to an airplane from nearby London Gatwick Airport crashing directly into it.
Radiation measurements around this Tomotherapy treatment vault were carried out to check the shielding adequacy of the source housing and the vault.
The radiation levels in and around the vault were measured for stationary as well as rotational treatment procedures with the largest open field size (5 cm × 40 cm) at the isocenter with and without scattering medium.
The main purpose of the present study is to describe a planning methodology to improve the quality of the built environment based on the rational control of solar radiation and the view of the sky vault.
To apply the radiation licensing for the Injector commissioning, the entering/leaving to/from accelerator vault should be under control, and access to the accelerator vault has to be prohibited for any person during the beam operation.
To survive the intense radiation around Jupiter, its instruments are housed inside a titanium vault.
Shielding at the laboratory is comprised of modular concrete shield blocks 0.76 m thick with tongue-in-groove features to prevent radiation streaming, arranged into one small and one large test vault.
The electronics aboard Juno are encased in a titanium vault designed to protect components from high levels of radiation, but even with this shielding, the spacecraft is expected to sustain serious damage after a year in Jupiter's orbit.
