Abstract
We have developed a new type of shielding material called as “Double Shield” which consists of Pb-shot 0.5 mm in diameter and boride for shielding both neutron and gamma rays effectively. The transmission neutron measurements were performed with the neutron time-of-flight technique using a BF3 detector and the neutron attenuation rate of the new product was compared with those of other shielding materials for each energy region. Moreover, the slab attenuation experiments were performed up to 30 cm for the new product, Pb and polyethylene mixed with boron oxide by measuring the leakage neutron and gamma-ray dose rates behind the materials. Based on the results of those experiments, it was verified that the new product has a higher shielding performance with respect to the total amount of neutron and gamma-ray dose rates.
