Damage prevention, operational shield

ASSET PROTECTION. Shields intended for intentional detonation are to be designed to prevent damage to buildings, equipment, and other assets in the area. Damage prevention is considered adequate if normal operations are in no way interrupted or hindered as a result of any change to the operational environment from explosions in this type of shield, and the shield may be expected to remain operational throughout its designed life cycle. 

The diodes are sensitive to a wavelength range from 0.1 nm to 1.2 nm, i.e. they can operate directly with 8 keV photons. However, shielding must be provided to prevent the X-rays from damaging the integrated electronic circuitry. Visible light has to be excluded from the detector, this can be done with a beryllium window.
