Abstract Radiation Shielding Concrete (RSC) is a superior alternative to many conventional
and modern shields against gamma and neutron radiation hazards. The present work is the …

The current study assessed two concrete mixes prepared using dolomite and barite/limonite
aggregates to shield against both energetic photons and neutrons. After that, a designed mix …

Radiation shielding properties of 8 concrete mixes were studied in detail. The concrete
mixes included 4 coarse aggregate types; dolomite, barite, ilmenite, and celestite, and 2 …

In this study, ten open-cell aluminum foams with 30 mm thickness 2 pores/cm and 10 mm
thickness 16 pores/cm pore sizes encoded A1-A5 and B1–B5 respectively were fabricated …

Boron-containing compounds have an excellent radiation shielding capability against slow
neutrons. Moreover, sassolite in boron-containing compounds adversely affects cement …

A new user-friendly software called MRCsC was developed to accurately and precisely
predict macroscopic effective removal cross-section, Σ R,(in cm− 1) of fast neutrons for …

Bentonite clay, a naturally occurring very fine volcanic powder that lies mainly on the nano-
scale, has been investigated during this study to assess the possibility of producing a brick …

To date, heavyweight concretes have been produced from various heavy aggregates as
radiation insulation materials, and their gamma ray absorption levels have been …

Structural and gamma-ray/neutron radiation protection characteristics of (50-x) B 2 O 3+
40PbO+ 10Li 2 O+ xAg 2 O (x= 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 wt fraction (wt)%) glass system encoded …

With the help of the developing concrete technology, light concrete and fly ash may be used
in several concrete-related fields. To provide protection from radiation, which is one of the …
