The purpose of this research is to present a complex method for the evaluation of the
shielding efficiency of concretes and mortars used in biological shields against ionizing …

With the rising demand for nuclear energy, the storage/transportation of radioactive nuclear
by-products are critical safety issues for humans and the environment. These by-products …

For the first time, the hazardous chrysotile was valorized as an aggregate in radiation
shielding concrete (RSC). This was accomplished through its amalgamation with two …

The current research scrutinizes the potential of the Dy 3+ doped modifier-dependent (BaO,
SrO, ZnO, CaO, LiO) lead phosphate boro-tellurite glasses as radiation attenuating …

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 …

Concrete mix design for radiation shielding is mainly based on selection of aggregate
materials of specified elemental composition. Serpentinite aggregate could be a desirable …

The paper presents a study on the properties of New Generation Shielding Concrete (NGS-
Concrete) modified by materials containing fast neutron moderators and thermal neutron …

This study developed artificial lightweight aggregates (CNF aggregates) using a Ca (OH) 2–
Na 2 CO 3-activated fly ash (CNF) binder system and boron compounds (H 3 BO 3 and Na 2 …

Incorporation of mineral and ores as fine aggregate additives was investigated for its effect
on the neutron and gamma-ray shielding properties of cement mortar. Five mortar mixtures …

The increasing demand for cement-based materials has led to significant energy
expenditure and greenhouse gas emissions. To produce more sustainable cementitious …
