Abstract
Concretes are applied extensively as both building and radiation protecting materials in nuclear industry and medical radiation facilities. In recent decades, several articles have reported the radiation protection advantages of concretes doped with different nanoparticle. The designed new concretes were used and tested against photons and neutrons radiation as construction materials. Moreover, the intrinsic differences between neutrons and photons in the interaction with atoms and nuclei of materials composing the concrete have led to the exploitation of a range of elements with low and high atomic number and density. The current chapter reviews the main findings of the recent studies and tries to sum up their conclusive results.
