Abstract :Today, the use of radiation in basic science, medicine, agriculture, industry, and military purposes has reached enormous scale. Workers in radiation-risk environments must wear special clothing to protect themselves from these rays. Radiation protection is achieved through three basic methods: time, distance, and armor. Because armoring is the most effective of these three methods, workers in these areas must wear armored clothing that effectively absorbs radiation rays. Although lead is a very effective radiation shield, it poses significant risks to human health. Alternative clothing for use in radiation-exposed facilities needs to be considered. Because barite is a heavy material, it shields harmful radiation. This study aims to combine this property of barite with fabric to create protective clothing that absorbs harmful radiation. Using experimental data, a fuzzy logic model was developed to estimate the radiation absorption coefficients of barite-coated fabrics. Using barite percentage and energy level as input variables and the radiation absorption coefficient as output variables, a fuzzy information-based model was developed. It can be concluded that the developed fuzzy intelligent model can be applied as an effective tool to satisfactorily predict the radiation absorption intensity of barite coated fabrics.
