Development of neutron-proof ultra-high-performance concrete

The increasing demand for high-performance radiation shielding materials in nuclear infrastructure, medical facilities, and industrial radiography applications has intensified interest in advanced radiation shielding concrete. Herein, we present the development of a novel, sustainable, Neutron-Proof Radiation Shielding Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (NP-RS-UHPC) by harnessing the separate and synergistic effects of silica sand, magnetite, and …
