“…In the comparison of polymer panels it can be seen that the highest value of attenuation coefficient has been found for undoped polymer and the lowest value for barite-doped polymer panel. Barite-doped polymer panel can provide more efficient γ-ray shielding, when compared to others [4,25].…”

Developments in nuclear technology in the last century have lead to the use of radiation in different areas of human activity. These are not just the energetics but also food, agriculture, medicine, industry and science. Thus, radiation has become an inevitable phenomenon in our lives. Since we cannot isolate radiation from our life, the radiation protection methods should be available. As alternatives to conventional radiation prevention methods, such as lead and heavy concrete shielding, more functional materials need to become the focus of research. The development of the least harmful to the environment, easily applicable, flexible radiation shields has become very important. In this study, silicon matrix composite panels, doped with different ratios of barite and boron carbide, were produced and characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Gamma and neutron radiation shielding properties of these materials were investigated. The results have been compared with the lead as the standard shielding material.

“…Shielding is the most important method in which shielding materials becomes important. The literature is rich in works dealing with linear attenuation coefficients of construction materials [1][2][3][4][5] Marble is an important material to be used in building construction. In this study, the linear attenuation coefficients of three different types of marble have been measured at three different photon energies.…”

The linear attenuation coefficients of different marble samples (Perlato Beige, Regal Beige and Crema Siva Beige) produced in Amasya were measured. The measurements have been performed at the photon energies of 511, 835 and 1274 keV which were obtained using 22 Na and 54 Mn sources. The measurements have been performed using a gamma spectrometer which contains 3 × 3 NaI(Tl) detector connected to 16384 channel Multi-ChannelAnalyser (MCA).

“…The researchers Akkurt et al [5] conduct a study the linear attenuation coefficient for the samples of concrete containing Zeolite with different concentrations of (0%, 10%, 30%, and 50%). It is noted that the linear attenuation coefficient decreases with increasing concentration of Zeolite, and it is concluded that Zeolite is nonconvenient to use as a protective shield from radiation.…”

The present work investigates the linear and mass attenuation coefficients for gamma rays practically and theoretically by using spectroscopy gamma ray (UCS-20) and program (XCOM)) for various types of common use granite, and compares them with the lead because of its high blocking ability for this type of radiation. This paper concluded through linear and mass attenuation coefficients measurements that these coefficients decrease with increasing incident photons energy. Measurements also showed that the linear attenuation coefficients appropriate linearly with density while mass attenuation coefficients do not get affected.
