Radiation attenuation of boron doped clay for 662, 1173 and 1332 keV gamma rays
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Radiation shielding properties is an important for a material wish can be used the photon attenuation coefficients of clay produced using different rate of boron have been measured for the purpose of radioactive waste disposal. Materials and Methods: The measurement has been performed using gamma spectrometer contains NaI (Tl) detector at the photon energies of 662, 1173 and 1332 keV. The mean free path and transmission rate of the samples were also obtained. Results: From the measurement of linear attenuation coefficients it was found that using boron in the clay increased the linear attenuation coefficients. Conclusion: It can be concluded from this work that the boron is effective to shield radiation and it can be used for storing of nuclear waste. Iran. J. Radiat. Res., 2011 9(1): 37-40

full textCompton scattering of 662 keV gamma rays by aluminium and copper materials using NaI(Tl) detector
A rotating NaI(TI) scintillator detector and a collimated Cs 137 source producing gamma rays with an energy of 662 keV scattered incoherently by aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) scatterers through the angles from 0 to 120° are used to study Compton scattering. The Compton scattering effect is investigated and found that the energy of scattered gamma ray decreases as the scattering angles increases...
full textCompton profile measurements of lithium fluoride with 662 keV radiation
The isotropic Compton profile of lithium fluoride has been deduced from Compton scattering measurements on poly crystalline sample at gamma ray source energy of 662 keV. Here we report the experimental and theoretical Compton profile of lithium fluoride. We calculated directional Compton profile and their anisotropic effect using self-consistent Hatree-Fock wave functions employed on the linear...
full textEffect of Co-60 Single Escape Peak on Detection of Cs-137 in Analysis of Radionuclide from Research Reactor
The effect of the single escape peak of 1173 keV gamma-rays from Co-60 on the detection of Cs-137 activity is analyzed. The single escape peak of 1173 keV gamma-rays from Co-60 is located at the 662 keV, which is very close to the energy of gamma-rays from Cs-137. This single escape peak may be mistaken for the gamma-ray peak from Cs-137 activity in the case of large area of 1173 keV peak. The ...
full textAttenuation of Vhe Gamma Rays by the Milky Way Interstellar Radiation Field
The attenuation of very high energy γ-rays by pair production on the Galactic interstellar radiation field has long been thought of as negligible. However, a new calculation of the interstellar radiation field consistent with multi-wavelength observations by DIRBE and FIRAS indicates that the Galactic interstellar radiation field is intense. We have made a calculation of the attenuation of very...
