Dear Cindy,
I don't have an anwswer to your question about lead sheets. But I want to
tell you a funny story. Many years ago (30+) I attended a lecture at Yale
about radiation and the measures that should be taken to guard against it
in the laboratory. The speaker (who shall remain nameless) had a very heavy
accent, but he was very well known, and the audience paid great attention.
He went on about how to position these items in the wall--the thickness and
the height--to guard against the problem. We all came away fully prepared
to install dead sheep (!) wherever and however they were necessary!
Pity the poor children!
