Abstract
The present study focusses on the shielding parameters (X-ray and gamma radiation) such as mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), Tenth Value Layer (TVL), Half Value Layer (HVL), electron density, effective atomic number, specific gamma ray constant and radiation protection efficiency in some iron boron alloys such as Fe0.95B0.05 (A), Fe0.9B0.1 (B), Fe0.8B0.2 (C), Fe0.7B0.3 (D), Fe0.6B0.4 (E) and Fe0.5B0.5 (F). We also investigated the neutron shielding properties (NSP) such as coherent and incoherent neutron scattering length and cross section. Then the total neutron scattering and absorption cross sections were evaluated along with the radiation protection efficiency in the iron boron alloys. The shielding properties of the various iron boron alloys were compared. It is clear from the detailed study that the iron boron alloy Fe0.95B0.05 is a perfect absorber for x-ray, gamma and neutron radiation. We therefore suggest that the iron boron alloy Fe0.95B0.05 is a good shielding material for gamma, neutrons and x-rays.
