Simulation of Hydrogenated Boron Nitride Nanotube’s Mechanical Properties for Radiation Shielding Applications
Radiation shielding is an obstacle in long duration space exploration. Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNTs) have attracted attention as an additive to radiation shielding material due to B’s large neutron capture cross section. The B has an effective neutron capture cross section suitable for low energy neutrons ranging from 10 to 10 eV and hydrogen is effective at slowing down high energy neutrons....
متن کاملBoron-Filled Hybrid Carbon Nanotubes
A unique nanoheterostructure, a boron-filled hybrid carbon nanotube (BHCNT), has been synthesized using a one-step chemical vapor deposition process. The BHCNTs can be considered to be a novel form of boron carbide consisting of boron doped, distorted multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) encapsulating boron nanowires. These MWCNTs were found to be insulating in spite of their graphitic layered...
متن کاملRadiation Shielding for Fusion Reactors
Radiation shielding requirements for fusion reactors present different problems than those for fission reactors and accelerators. Fusion devices, particularly tokamak reactors, are complicated by geometry constraints that complicate disposition of fully effective shielding. This paper reviews some of these shielding issues and suggested solutions for optimizing the machine and biological shield...
متن کاملRadiation shielding technology.
An historical review of the development of shielding techniques for indirectly ionizing radiation is presented, along with a summary of techniques at various levels of sophistication for shielding design and analysis.
متن کاملShielding of Gamma Radiation
In the discussion that follows, we assume that gamma rays are the radiation of interest. The principles discussed also apply to monoenergetic x rays; in many cases of concern in x-ray shielding, however, the photons are produced in the bremsstrahlung process that yields a wide and continuous distribution of photon energies. Specialized shielding approaches have been developed to carry out shiel...
