A review on neutron shielding performance of nano-composite materials
Neutron sources employed in different applications in both medicine and industry. Due to the harmful effects of neutron particles on living organisms, radiation shields have played a vital role in radiation protection against neutrons. In recent decade, numerous investigations conducted on the design and fabrication of nanocomposites as more efficient shielding materials against fast and therma...
متن کاملPreliminary Shielding Analysis and Design of the Remote Maintenance Cells for the Proposed National Spallation Neutron Source (nsns)
Radiation shielding analysis and design calculations were performed for remote maintenance cells of the proposed National Spallation Neutron Source (NSNS) facility. In the analysis, a calculational strategy utilizing coupled high energy Monte Carlo calculations and multidimensional discrete ordinates calculations was implemented to perform an activation analysis and shielding assessment of the ...
متن کاملShielding studies on a total-body neutron activation facility
Background: Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) is known as a non-invasive technique capable of measuring elemental concentration in voluminous samples in a short period of time. Also it is a valuable diagnostic tool for total body elemental measurements. 252Cf and 241Am-Be sources which are usually used in this method, generate not only neutrons, but also emit high-energy and unwa...
متن کاملDesign and Characterisation of Metallic Glassy Alloys of High Neutron Shielding Capability
This paper reports the design, making and characterisation of a series of Fe-based bulk metallic glass alloys with the aim of achieving the combined properties of high neutron absorption capability and sufficient glass forming ability. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction and pair distribution function methods were used to characterise the crystalline or amorphous states of the samples. Neutron transm...
متن کاملNeutron deep-penetration calculations and shielding design of proton therapy accelerators
Proton therapy accelerators have become increasingly popular for cancer treatment in recent years. In Taiwan, the first proton treatment center equipped with a 235 MeV proton cyclotron in Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital is ready for beam commissioning. Proton therapy accelerators in the energy range could potentially produce intense secondary neutrons, which must be carefully evaluated and ...
