Section: summary

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A number of U.S. Pat. Nos. relate to variously designed transparent radiation shields. These patents: 2,868,992 to Monk; 3,085,464 to Touvay; 3,197,641 to Larkin; and 3,680,498 to Roos. These aforementioned patents are non applicable to my present invention. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION My present invention relates to a unique and novel transparent radiation protection wall. An object of my present invention is to provide a radiation protection wall which is transparent thereby permitting a person to view operations being performed in a highly radioactive area from an area of low radioactivity. A further object of my present invention is to provide a plurality of blocks which are joined together to form the wall, wherein each block has a water layer therein which is sufficiently thick enough to absorb any radiation which hits the block. Briefly, my present invention comprises a transparent radiation protection wall formed from a plurality of block members, wherein each of the block members has a liquid medium disposed therein. Joining bar members are provided for joining the block members together in a radiation tight seal.
