Abstract

The paper reviews the so far known information about the properties of biological shielding concrete used in the containment vessel of nuclear power plants (NPP) and its behaviour when exposed to radiation. The damage of concrete caused by neutron and gamma radiation as well as by the accompanying generation of heat is described. However, there is not enough data for the proper evaluation of the negative impacts and further research is needed.
