Experimental Research on Peridotite Concrete for Neutron Shielding

Abstract:

Peridotite containing high crystal water is used as concrete aggregates in this research. The mineral composition and thermal stability of peridotite are experimentally analyzed, and the concrete mix proportion design is optimized. The neutron shielding performance of peridotite concrete specimens are tested using ²⁴¹Am-Be neutron source. The transmission data of different thickness and different energy neutron are calculated. It concludes that peridotite concrete has a good performance in neutron shielding and peridotite is an excellent neutron shielding material.
