Özet

Neutrons have no electrical charge and not easily stopped by matter because they interact with atoms of matter only via the nuclei The problem of shielding against high-energy neutrons has always attracted a great deal of attention. Neutron shielding requires slowing down energetic neutrons and absorbing with a shield material. Several materials are used as neutron shield. Concrete is one of the best known shielding material and ferroboron is described. as an alternative shielding material in this study. The attenuation in concrete and ferroboron of the dose equivalent was calculated according to the simulation. FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation code was used for the application of shielding calculation. When the simulation results compared, it is clear that ferroboron is the effective of neutron shielding than the concrete.
