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...
