“…To test the simulation method and provide radiological safety parameters, this work studies MAC for concretes using calculations via MCNPX code. The chemical compositions of these materials are taken from literature (Vijayakumar, Rajasekaran, & Ramamurthy, 2001). Firstly, mass attenuation coefficients of the selected materials were calculated.…”

Shielding and radiation protection are important subjects for various areas ranging from medical and agricultural sectors to consumer products. As such, it is a branch of science and technology, wherein radiation exposure to the receptor is reduced by shielding. In this study mass attenuation coefficients, µ/ρ for some concrete with potential applications in nuclear technology and radiation protection as well as medical physics have been calculated using MCNPX (version 2.4.0) at different photon energy levels. Appreciable variations are noted for mass attenuation coefficients of the concrete by the changes in the photon energy. The MCNPX results are compared with available experimental investigations and theoretical XCOM results, and good agreement is being observed. Present study indicates that MCNPX simulation method is suitable method to be used as an alternative method for the investigation of gamma interaction and would very useful materials for different energies for radiation dosimetry, medical and nuclear technology.

The chemical and physical characteristics of several flavonoid compounds such as geraniol, thymoquinone, betaine, apigenin, N-acetylcysteine, catechin, l-carnosine, epigallocatachin, and saponarin were examined in this work. Numerous molecular properties of all flavonoid compounds used in this study were calculated using the Calculate Molecular Properties module of Accelrys Discovery Studio v20.1.0.19295.0. These properties included molecular polar surface area, total solvent accessible surface area, and heat of formation. We used the MCNPX general-purpose Monte Carlo code in combination with the Phy-X PSD software to determine gamma-ray interaction parameters such as attenuation coefficients, effective atomic numbers, and buildup factors. The findings indicate that the flavonoids’ elemental compositions have a direct effect on their chemical and physical properties. Additionally, a synergistic interaction of chemical and physical behaviors has been observed. Among the flavonoids studied, saporanin was shown to have the highest polar surface area and solvent accessible surface area, as well as the highest stability. Additionally, saporanin had the strongest gamma-ray attenuation characteristics across a broad photon energy range. It may be inferred that saporanin’s elemental structure enables a synergistic relationship between its chemical and physical characteristics. The findings of this study may contribute to the evaluation of saporanin’s hypoglycemic, antibacterial, and hepatoprotective effects.

To observe the direct effect of molybdenum reinforcement on nuclear radiation shielding properties, a detailed investigation was performed with a group of bismuth borate glasses. Accordingly, glass samples with the nominal compositions (65-x)B2O3 + 20Bi2O3 + 15Na2O + xMoO3: x = 0, 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6 and 7.5 wt% have been synthesized by the solid state conventional method. The samples were named as M0 (x = 0), M1 (x = 1.5), M2 (x = 3), M3 (x = 4.5), M4 (x = 6) and M5 (x = 7.5). Physical characteristics and gamma-photon attenuation properties of (M0-M5) glasses have been investigated via MCNPX simulation code and XCOM program. XRD patterns confirmed that M0-M5 glasses were in amorphous nature. The density of the prepared glasses increased from 4.4104 for M0 glass sample to 5.3012 gm cm−3, while molar volume decreased from 33.50083 to 28.92114 cm3 mol−1. The mass attenuation coefficient (μm) increased with the increment of MoO3 concentration in mol% and followed the order: (M0)μm < (M1)μm < (M2)μm < (M3)μm < (M4)μm < (M5)μm at all photon energies. The mean free path (MFP), half value layer (HVL), and tenth value layer (TVL) for the prepared glasses M0-M5 have the same trend and follow the order: (M5)MFP, HVL, TVL < (M4) MFP, HVL, TVL < (M3) MFP, HVL, TVL < (M2) MFP, HVL, TVL < (M1) MFP, HVL, TVL < (M1) MFP, HVL, TVL. The M5 glass sample (with maximum MoO3) achieved highest effective atomic number (Zeff)and equivalent atomic numbers (Zeq) values for all photon energy ranges (low-medium-high). Among all the glass samples, the exposure build-up factor (EBF) and energy absorption build-up factor (EABF) values for M5 glass sample with the highest MoO3 additive are minimum due to the low amount of photons accumulated. These results indicate that M5 glass sample theoretically provides maximum protection for gamma-rays among all the samples.
