1. A radiation protection container for a radiation source of a measuring system for radiometric density or fill level measurement, comprising:
a first base body having a first planar surface,
a second base body having a second planar surface,
a first connecting structure which connects the first base body and the second base body to the surfaces in a form-fitting manner, in such a way that the surfaces define a planar plane,
a straight-axis radiation waveguide extending in the plane, which is formed by the two base bodies, having
a first open end region to which the radiation source can be fixed, and
a second open end region,
at least one first radiation absorption structure, which is formed by depressions and complementary elevations in the first surface and in the second surface, respectively, such that the first radiation absorption structure extends in the plane, proceeding from the radiation waveguide.
