Investigation of Radiation Protection Parameters of Some Control Rod Types that Can Be Used in Akkuyu Nuclear Reactors

Control rods are used in nuclear reactors to control fission the core. Different reactor designs must use different rod materials because of neutrons that can be found at various energies. These materials, which made chemical compounds such as B4C, ZrB2, TiB2 or HfB2 absorb neutrons, have absorption properties for In this study, Akkuyu Nuclear Reactors were investigated. It has been taken into account may present structure these rods, and linear mass attenuation coefficients (LAC, MAC), half tenth value thicknesses (HVL, TVL) mean free path (MFP), The atomic number, electron density (Zeff, Neff) effective conductivity (Ceff) energy parameters calculated theoretically between 1 keV 20 MeV using Phy-X software.
