A personal radiation protection garment that substantially contours to an
operator's body is suspended from a suspension means. The garment is
operable to protect the operator from radiation. The suspension means is
operable to apply constant force. The suspension means allows operator
wearing protective radiation garment to move freely in the X, Y, and Z
spatial planes simultaneously, such that the protective radiation garment
is substantially weightless to operator. A radiation protection face
shield and flap can also be suspended from suspension means, such that
face shield and flap are substantially weightless to operator. The
suspension means can be mounted to a ceiling.
