Abstract
With the development of science and technology, the opportunities for military forces and general citizens to be exposed to a radioactive environment have greatly increased. It is urgent to establish a mature nuclear, biological and chemical protection system, of which nuclear radiation protective clothing is a vital part. Radiation protective clothing is clothing that ensures the protection of people in a radioactive environment by reducing the radiation exposure dose. Owing to the advances in material science, it is possible to develop radiation protective clothing with better performance. In this review, we focus on X-ray, γ-ray and thermal neutron shielding and elaborate on the following 3 aspects by citing a variety of examples: methods for measuring the shielding performance of radiation protective clothing, radiation protective clothing materials and the prospects and existing problems. In addition, a number of commercial nuclear radiation protective clothing is introduced, and their evaluation is expounded to explain the problems.
