Popis:	In the present work, authors are studying the use of Boron Oxide Glass/Epoxy Ilmenite assembly (BOG/EI) as a two layer shield. Experimental work regarding measurements of fast neutrons and gamma ray leaking behind homogenous and two layer shield of (BOG) and (EI) composite have been carried out to investigate their radiation attenuation capabilities in terms of flux degradation. The measurements have been performed using a collimated beam emerging from spontaneous fission 252 Cf (100 μg) neutron source and the neutron-gamma spectrometer with stilbene organic scintillator based on the zero crossover method of the pulse shape discrimination (PSD) technique. The MCNP-4C2 code was used to simulate the experimentally measured transmitted fast neutrons and gamma ray fluxes theoretically for confirmation.
