Glass Materials in Nuclear Technology for Gamma Ray and Neutron Radiation Shielding: a Review

摘要

The review deals the investigation of glass doped with elements exhibiting high cross section for shielding against the neutrons and gamma ray radiation. The attenuation ability of pure gamma ray, fast neutrons, slow neutrons, and total gamma rays is reviewed and discussed. A short literature review on the glass materials for nuclear radiation shielding is also given.
