“…Thus, light atoms such as H-containing materials can shield fast neutrons due to their neutron moderation capabilities because light atoms slow down the speed of neutrons through elastic scattering . PE, which is composed of C and H atoms, is a primarily used matrix for neutron shielding in nuclear sectors. , Generally, a larger neutron capture cross-section indicates a higher neutron capture capability and contributes more to shielding fast neutrons. , Boron (B) possesses a high absorption cross-section for neutrons, thereby enabling effective neutron absorption to control and mitigate neutron radiation . Materials containing B element, such as BN and boron carbide (B 4 C), are added to PE, polyester, and epoxy to fabricate radiation-shielding composites. − …”
