| Abstract | ||||
| The work aimed to prepare a high-density concrete for radiation shielding for construction of antinuclear shelters to protect airplanes and other military instruments against radiation emitted during nuclear burst, specially gamma and neutrons. Ordinary concrete can be used for shielding but excessive thickness may be required. The choice of suitable material will improve the attenuation of radiation and reduce the required thickness. In this study different concrete mixes were designed, produced, cured and tested for attenuation of both neutrons and gamma rays. | ||||
