Shielding facility and methods of making thereof

A method of providing a facility comprising:

• providing a plurality of shielding modules to form at least one compartment of at least one shielding barrier, wherein a thickness of the at least one shielding barrier is 0.5 meter to 6 meters;
• and
• providing radiation shielding fill material comprising at least fifty percent by weight of an element having an atomic number from 12 to 83 for filling the at least one compartment.

A method for providing a facility comprising:

• assembling a plurality of prefabricated modules to create a shielding barrier;
• and
• filling at least one compartment of the shielding barrier with a radiation shielding fill material, wherein a thickness of the at least one shielding barrier is 0.5 meter to 6 meters and the radiation shielding fill material comprises at least fifty percent by weight of an element having an atomic number from 12 to 83.
