Why Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding is Better than Other material?

When designing radiation shielding, it will be calculated according to thickness of shielding material to get total weakened multiple for layers of shield.

Formula: T(1/2) = e0.693 d /K    (A)
K: Shield weakened multiple,it is a constants
T(1/2): The nuclear radiation shielding material of the half-value layer values.
d: Shielding thickness.

T(1/2) is more small more better, means the radiation shielding more effect.
According to this formula, e0.693 and K is a confirmed constants,so the only factor influence the T(1/2) is d, that is shielding thickness.

Let's take 1 units of area as sample to explain, how the material density influence the thickness,therefor enfluence the shielding effective.

We all know,  formula: V=M/P    (B).
V: Volume
M: weight
P:density

in the Cuboid shape things.
V= S*d      (C)
V:Volume
S:basal area
d: thinkness

Combine formula B and C, S*d=M/P.  That is d=M/P/S.      (D)

conbine formula A and D. we can get:
T(1/2) = e0.693 *M/P/S/K    

In this formula. e0.693, S, K are already confirmed. so the nuclear radiation shielding material of the half-value layer values, is influence by P.
the P is more bigger, the T(1/2) is more small, therefor the material radiation shielding effective is more better. 

In this way, tungsten alloy material has a density over 18g/cm3, 60% higher than lead and Al2O3, is a better radiation shielding material than them.
