    Area of Science:

    • Medical physics
    • Radiation protection

    Background:

    • Protective aprons are essential in environments with radiation exposure.
    • Ensuring the integrity of personal protective equipment is critical for safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and describe defects in new protective aprons.
    • To assess the significance of detected defects and recommend actions.

    Main Methods:

    • Visual inspection and defect analysis of new protective aprons.
    • Evaluation of defect frequency and potential impact on radiation shielding.

    Main Results:

    • Several types of defects were identified in new protective aprons.
    • Defect occurrence was below 5% but deemed significant.
