Abstract
This article considers the possibility of using a neutron-protective polymeric cover for transport packing sets (containers) of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). It is confirmed that it is possible to synthesize highly dispersed hydrophobic metal organosiloxane powders that have a chain silicate containing chemically bonded gadolinium with a high concentration of gadolinium atoms in the polymeric volume. Scientific foundations for modification of the structure and properties of polymeric composites are developed which provide for directed regulation of their supramolecular structure by introducing plasticizing and modifying additives. Design and experimental studies on the neutron-protective properties of the developed polymeric composite are conducted.
