The Potentials of Egyptian and Indian Granites for Protection of Ionizing Radiation

The Potentials of Egyptian and Indian Granites for Protection of Ionizing Radiation

This paper aims to study the radiation shielding characteristics and buildup factor of some types of granite in Egypt. The mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) for three types of granite (gandola, white halayeb, and red aswani) was experimentally determined, and the experimental results were validated...
