Patent Number: 
Section: abstract

To include a step of installing a hollow container (1) at a predetermined portion of an object to be shielded (100), a step of feeding fluid into the container (1) via a hose (22) by a fluid feeding unit (2), and a step of transporting and filling a granular shielding material into the container (1) via the hose (22) by supplying the shielding material to the fluid by a shielding-material supply unit (3). With this arrangement, because a shielding material is fed into the container (1) together with the fluid and filled therein at a remote place from the object to be shielded (100), a worker does not need to approach the object to be shielded (100). Further, because a shielding effect is improved by the granular shielding material, an amount of radiation to the worker can be reduced easily and sufficiently.
