In this study, the shielding rate of L-block-type shielding equipment used for radiation protection when radioactive fluorine is injected into the human body and the dose distribution of the space in the injection room were calculated using the Monte Carlo method. The shielding rate of the body and window parts of the L-block-type shielding equipment was 99.99%. The dose distribution calculated at a distance of 1 m was relatively high at 135°, 45°, 225°, 315°, and 180° of the XZ plane, and was calculated to be very low at 0°, 90°, and 270°. In the YZ plane, it was relatively high at 135°, 180°, and 225°, and was calculated very low at the remaining angles. The AZ and BZ planes also showed similar results to the YZ plane. In addition, it was confirmed that the shielding rate was the best in the range of 225° to 315° through the dose distribution in the horizontal direction of the source and the 45° direction above the source. These results can be used as basic data necessary for radiation protection of radiation workers.
