Investigation of shielding properties of nuclear reactor control rod material boron carbide

Abstract

Within the scope of this study, the importance of boron element which has the largest reserve in Turkey and boron carbide, the most important material produced from boron, in nuclear technology has been emphasized. B4C is the basic material of control rods used to control the fission rate in nuclear reactors and is used in many nuclear reactors. The high neutron absorbing capacity of B4C material makes this material very useful. In order to examine B4C used in nuclear technology, mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) and lineer attenuation coefficient (LAC) values, which are two important radiation parameters, were examined through open access Photon Protection and Dosimetry (PSD) software which is at phy-x.net/PSD. The results obtained were compatible with the literature.
