RADIATION-PROTECTIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF A COMPOSITE BASED ON A HEAT-RESISTANT MODIFIED FRACTION OF TITANIUM HYDRIDE

The article describes the technology of obtaining a highly effective composite radiation-protective material based on titanium-coated fraction titanium hydride and alumina cement binder. physical mechanical properties resulting are investigated. results an experimental study with respect to gamma neutron radiation presented. Point isotopic sources fast neutrons Pu-α-Be (neutron energy - 4.5 MeV), source Cs-137 (gamma-ray 0.661 MeV) Co-60 (average gamma–quanta 1.25 used for measurements. paper compares effectiveness protection concrete. It is shown that same attenuation multiplicity radiation, thickness from modified will be in ~ 1.7 times less than use materials binder significantly simplify mounting protection, reduce its weight size characteristics, cost increase reliability
