Radiation shielding properties of modified concrete mixes and their suitability in dry storage cask
Abstract
Radiation shielding properties of 8 concrete mixes were studied in detail. The concrete mixes included 4 coarse aggregate types; dolomite, barite, ilmenite, and celestite, and 2 cementing material content. Important parameters accounted for in this study include: Mass attenuation coefficient that was calculated using WinXCom program then linear attenuation coefficient, half value layer, tenth value layer, and mean free path were deduced; …
