Activation experiment for concrete blocks using thermal neutrons

Activation experiment for concrete blocks using thermal neutrons

Activation experiments for ordinary concrete, colemanite-peridotite concrete, B4C-loaded concrete, and limestone concrete are carried out using thermal neutrons. The results reveal that the effective dose for gamma rays from activated nuclides of colemanite-peridotite concrete is lower than that for...
