Abstract

A glass system with chemical formula xB2O3:20Bi2O3:(100-x) Al2O3 (x = 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 and 80 mol%) is prepared by melt quenching technique and were investigated the physical and neutron shielding properties. The physical properties were investigated by density, molar volume and discussed with different Al2O3 contents. The neutron shielding property was investigated by Monte Carlo techniques (FLUKA and GEANT4 codes) and neutron equivalent dose rate measurements. As a result, neutron shielding capacity of glass samples decrease with increased Al2O3 content, so increased B2O3 content is a result of positive effects on neutron shielding.
