Resumen	Radiation protection optimization is a systematic approach to design and manage exposure reduction strategies using risk-benefit analysis, codified by the ICRP in the principle of As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) in 1977. By balancing radiation dose reduction against cost, effort, and societal benefit, it guides practical protection decisions in medical imaging, occupational settings, and environmental remediation.	Radiation shielding design is an engineering discipline that uses physics-based calculations and materials selection to reduce radiation exposure to acceptable levels, originating from Curie and Rutherford's early radiation studies in the 1890s. By combining attenuation theory, source characterization, and dose modeling, it determines material composition, thickness, and geometry to protect workers, the public, and sensitive equipment.
