Low-radioactivity concrete
Examination of possible sources of low-radioactivity aggregate and portland cement was conducted in anticipation of construction of concrete low-background structure at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Berkeley, Calif; besides aggregate and cement, radioactivities of sources of water, reinforcing steel, and concrete additives must be considered, and radioactive contamination from mining and handling of concrete ingredients and placing of concrete is also important factor; it was found that with respect to shielding and low radioactivity, concrete can successfully compete with steel, and is about one fourth as expensive as low-radioactivity steel.
