Enhancing shielding efficiency of ordinary and barite concrete in radiation shielding utilizations.

Concrete has been widely utilized as a radiation shielding material due to its properties and structural integrity. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of ordinary concrete versus barite concrete as radiation shielding materials, focusing on the physical aspects and changes in crystal size lattice parameters after neutron irradiation. Specifically, the research investigates the shielding effectiveness of these materials across different grades (M15, M25, M35, and M45) against gamma-ray sources Cobalt-60 and Caesium-137.

Physical, mechanical, and microstructural characterisation of tungsten carbide-based polymeric composites for radiation shielding application.

Polymeric based composites have gained considerable attention as potential candidates for advanced radiation shielding applications due to their unique combination of high-density, radiation attenuation properties and improved mechanical strength. This study focuses on the comprehensive characterisation of polymeric based composites for radiation shielding applications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical, mechanical and microstructural properties of tungsten carbide-based epoxy resin and tungsten carbide cobalt-based epoxy resin for its efficiency in shielding against gamma-rays ranging from 0.
