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 …

Boron compounds are effective neutron shielding materials because of their high neutron
reaction cross-section. However, their use is limited in cementitious materials because of the …

Available neutron shielding materials have shortcomings. In order to obtain a neutron
shielding composite materials with good shielding performance, excellent mechanical …

The interest in medium to long-term nuclear spent fuel storage is growing worldwide. After
being cooled during several years in the spent fuel pool, the fuel can be stored in dry casks …

Micro-and Nanostructured Composite Materials for Neutron Shielding Applications presents
recent developments and future possibilities for neutron shielding materials. Emphasis is …

Abstract Development of an effective monitoring method for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) in a dry
storage cask (DSC) is important to meet the increasing demand for dry storage …

Spent fuel storage is a necessary part of the entire lifecycle to achieve intrinsic safety in the
application of nuclear energy as a clean energy source, and should be adequately …

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the radiation effects depending on the size of the
damage of cask when the outer shield of a spent nuclear fuel transportation cask is …

This paper presents a numerical analysis of gamma and neutron dose rates for increased
capacity CONSTOR® RBMK-1500/M2 casks. Up to 202 containers of this type will be stored …

To provide a solution for the limited storage space in wet-type storage in Indonesia's
material testing reactor (MTR) spent nuclear fuel (SNF) storage, a study on dry cask storage …
