    1. The document provides data for calculating shielding and cordon-off distances for industrial radiography, including occupancy factors for different areas and the formula used. 2. It gives an example calculation for an open field radiography job using 740 GBq of iridium-192 for 5 hours per week with a 15 degree collimator cone and shielding of 1TVT + 2HVT. 3. Using the provided formula and data, the cordon-off distance is calculated to be 39.5 meters in the direction of the primary beam and 6.25 meters in other directions.
