| Popis: | This study aimed to investigate the shielding performance of SrO-LiF-B2O3 glasses glass system for nuclear security applications. The MCNPX code (version 2.6.0) and GEANT4 are used to determine the shielding parameters and the dependence with the composition of each glass, as well as the influence of Cr2O3 additive. A wide-range of nuclear radiation shielding investigation for gamma-ray, proton particles, fast neutrons have been studied for five different types of glasses. The calculated values for mass attenuation coefficients (μm) were utilized to determine other vital shielding properties against gamma-ray radiation. Furthermore, some of the investigated parameters have been determined by using SRIM code and special calculation methods such as G-P fitting parameters for EBF and EABF calculation. The results showed that C25 glass with the highest Cr2O3 additive had a satisfactory capacity in nuclear radiation shielding. |
