Novel concrete compositions for γ-rays and neutron shielding using WC and B4C

Novel concrete compositions for γ-rays and neutron shielding using WC and B4C

Concrete provides a superior shielding effect against γ-rays and neutron by reducing the radiation exposure to biological entities and their surroundings. A suitable amount of additives in the concrete mixture can enhance the shielding effect. With this perception, the mixing proportion of concrete...
