Analysis of Barite Concrete as a Potential Neutron Radiation Shielding Material for BNCT Facilities

Production of a novel high strength heavy concrete using tourmaline and galena for neutron and photon radiation shielding

Background: High density concrete is extensively used for efficient radiation attenuation in radiotherapy rooms and nuclear reactors. Over the past eight years, some efficient galena-based concrete samples for shielding X or gamma rays was produced. The goal of this study was to produce a novel high density concrete against neutron and photon radiations using tourmaline and galena. Materials an...

Conductive Concrete: A Shielding Constructurion Material

Neutron Spectra and Dosimetric Quantities Outside Typical Concrete Shielding of Synchrotron Facilities

Neutron energy spectra at high energy electron accelerators outside concrete shielding of various thicknesses (30 to 240 cm at 65-95 degrees) have been calculated at three electron energies (100 MeV, 1 and 10 GeV) and an optimum Cu target of 30.48 cm long and 5.08 cm in radius with the FLUKA Monte Carlo code. Dose quantities such as the protection quantity of Effective dose E and the operationa...
