Development of Al₂O₃-Bi₂O₃-B₂O₃ Glasses for Neutron Shielding Material

Abstract:

A glass system with chemical formula xB₂O₃:20Bi₂O₃:(100-x) Al₂O₃ (x = 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 and 80 mol%) is prepared by melt quenching technique and were investigated the physical and neutron shielding properties. The physical properties were investigated by density, molar volume and discussed with different Al₂O₃ contents. The neutron shielding property was investigated by Monte Carlo techniques (FLUKA and GEANT4 codes) and neutron equivalent dose rate measurements. As a result, neutron shielding capacity of glass samples decrease with increased Al₂O₃ content, so increased B₂O₃ content is a result of positive effects on neutron shielding.
