Composite radiation-shielding concrete for special purposes

Abstract

From the results obtained and presented in the study the conclusions can be made that depending on admissible thickness of the protection screen radiation-protective concretes can be used as the monolithic plastering or as the preassembled covering, made of the pressed tiles. It is quite obvious that the efficiency of the ionizing radiation attenuation will prevail in the pressed samples but the problem of the tiles butting must be solved to eliminate the possible “shooting” of the radiation fluxes between the tiles.
