“…Titanium hydride-based materials meet the requirements for structural protection of reactors from neutron radiation, in particular fast neutron reactors, to a large extent. These are, first of all, materials based on compact titanium hydride obtained in the form of hydrogenated titanium blocks, as well as materials based on hydrogenated spherical titanium granules -shot [9][10][11][12]. Titanium hydride has a concentration of hydrogen nuclei 23% higher than in water, and the attenuation of neutron radiation occurs not only due to interaction with hydrogen nuclei, but also due to interaction with the nuclei of titanium [13][14][15][16].…”

The results of experimental studies of the protective properties of titanium hydride with respect to neutron and gamma radiation in order to determine the optimal conditions for their use in the composition of the structural radiation protection of the nuclear reactor are presented. The weakening of the basic functionals in the thickness of protection, including the density of fast, intermediate and thermal neutrons, and the dose rate of gamma radiation is established. The functions of weakening the density of neutron flow and the dose rate of gamma radiation are measured in the conditions of "barrier" geometry. Determination of the protective properties of the structure was carried out when the modified titanium hydride fraction was placed in aluminum containers with a filling coefficient of a volume of container 0.63. The relaxation lengths for all neutron groups are close and on average are 9.8 cm. The functions of weakening the dose rate of gamma radiation of point sources Cs-137 and Co-60 are exponential. The weakening of radiation occurs with a constant relaxation length. For energy 0.661 MeV, the relaxation length is 7.1 cm, for energy 1.25 MeV, the relaxation length is equal to 10.1 cm. On the basis of the experimental studies, the high efficiency of the modified fraction of titanium hydride was confirmed during its use in protecting nuclear power plants.

“…As a protective shield, polymer composite coatings filled with radiation-protective mineral fillers, for example, PbO [3], Bi 2 O 3 [4,5], Bi 12 SiO 20 [6], WO 3 [7], WO 2 [8], etc., can be used. Most of the works on the development of polymer composite coatings for space purposes is devoted to the analysis of their stability under the influence of ionizing radiation, mainly from gamma and neutron radiation [9][10][11][12].…”
