Abstract

The invention concerns a radiation protection curtain including at least two layers arranged parallel to each other, for use with a means of transporting objects to be scanned on a production line in a direction through the radiation protection curtain. At least one first layer is configured as a radiation protection layer. This at least one first radiation protection layer is preceded in the transport direction outwards by at least one additional separate stand-alone layer. This at least one additional layer is configured as a mechanical protection layer for the purpose of protecting the radiation protection layer behind it from mechanical effects, and the at least one additional mechanical protection layer includes at least one segment that is located on an already-installed radiation protection layer at predefined positions in such a way that it can be replaced individually.
