In the modern construction practice, to protect medical personnel from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation, materials with high density and mass are used, which negatively affect the technical and economic performance of the construction. In this paper, the possibility of using cellular barite-containing concrete as a structural material for the radiation protection of the medical premises is considered. The aim of this approach is to reduce the weight of the protective structure while maintaining the required protective characteristics. Using the method of mathematical modeling, based on the elemental compositions and densities of the studied materials, the radiation-protective characteristics of barite-containing cellular concrete, designed to attenuate the radiation intensity in accordance with the existing policies, were determined. The allowable attenuation ratio of photon radiation resulting from the operation of x-ray equipment was calculated for the protective structures. The linear attenuation coefficients of photon radiation, the necessary thicknesses and mass per unit area of protective structures are determined. The obtained results were compared with similar indicators of structures made of standard concrete used for protection X-ray rooms from ionizing radiation. Reducing the density of the material leads to a decrease in radiation-protective characteristics, however, with an increase in the thickness of the structure made of cellular barite-containing concrete, it is possible to achieve a reduction in the mass of the structure necessary to achieve the required radiation-protective characteristics. The greatest effect can be achieved by shielding radiation with an energy range of 0.02–0.1 MeV. In this power range, it is possible to achieve a reduction in the mass of the building structures by 28–59%. At a radiation energy range of 0.2-3 MeV, the reduction in mass is 2–8%.
