Abstract
ABSTRACTPresent work studies the bremsstrahlung efficiency, bremsstrahlung dose rate, probability of energy loss by beta during bremsstrahlung emission and specific bremsstrahlung constant of the beta radionuclide for various steels such as XM-5, 317LM, XM-17216, AL-6XN, JS700, NIROSTA 4565S and stainless steel. We have compared the shielding properties among the studied different steels. From the detailed study, the steel type 317LM is having the highest bremsstrahlung dose rate and specific bremsstrahlung constant values than the other studied steels. This means the steel type 317LM is a good absorber of bremsstrahlung radiation than the other studied steels. Hence it is better to use the steel type 317LM in the nuclear power plants than stainless steels and other steels to avoid the secondary radiation such as bremsstrahlung.
