Neutron shielding is used to protect personnel and equipment from the effect of neutron radiation. The effective neutron shielding should be reduced the neutron energy by elastic and inelastic scattering until they can be absorbed. The neutron interaction with the matter depends on neutron energy and the density of the shielding material. The best - known construction and shielding material is cocnrete. The composition of concrete has an important effect on its neutron shieildng different materials such as ferro-boron, iron.
In this study, neutron shielding properties of concrete was investigated by adding boron carbide (B4C), ferro-boron (FeB) and iron (Fe) in concrete. Neutron dose rate attenuation curves were determined by using FLUKA Monte Carlo code complemented with analytical predictions. According to the simulation results, it is clearly showed that shileding performance of concrete was enhanced depending on the amount of additional material and density.
