Abstract
In this study, the linear attenuation coefficients (LAC), mass attenuation coefficients (MAC), half-value layer (HVL), and mean free path (MFP) of various materials such as water equivalent, ABS, Presage, RMI457, RW3, SW557, Epoxy, A150, Rhizophora spp., and Nylon-12 have been calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method, EpiXS, Phy-X/PSD, and XCOM. Additionally, the fast neutron effective removal cross sections (ΣR) have been calculated using the empirical calculation method, Phy-X/PSD, MRCsC program, experimental and MNCP5 with the help of fast neutron mass removal cross sections. Among all the materials studied, Nylon-12 has the highest ΣR value. The calculated values of HVL, MFP, LAC, and MAC reveal that RW3, Epoxy, and Presage are the best materials in terms of their shielding properties, respectively.
