Radiation Shielding Concrete
Abstract Radiation shielding concrete is the composite made up of cement, water, and heavy weight aggregates. It can shield such radiations as alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays, X-rays, and neutrons due to its high density and large content of crystal water. Compared with other shielding materials, radiation shielding concrete is cheaper, easier to mold into complex shapes, and suitable for neutron and proton shielding. It can work as a biological shield for nuclear power plants, particle accelerators, research reactors, laboratory hot cells, and other different radiation sources.
