Investigation of the Radiation Shielding Capacity of Asphalt and Sand for Fast Neutron Sources

The internal wall of the cavity of experimental assemblies, involved with high energy fusion neutrons, can be covered by an asphalt-sand layer for radiation protection purposes. The calculations have demonstrated that asphalt has a radiation protection capability superior to that of concrete, on equ...
