Radiation Shielding Properties of Bi₂O₃-Na₂O-B₂O₃ of 662 keV

Abstract:

The bismuth sodium borate glasses in formula xBi₂O₃:20Na₂O:(80-x)B₂O₃ (x = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 mol %) have been prepared by melt-quenching technique. The glass sample at x=0 mol% show the colorless and show the stronger yellow at the higher Bi₂O₃ content. The glasses’s colors are corespondening with the cutoff wavelength’s results. The shielding properties were measured at 662 keV by Cs-137 radiation source. The obtained results show that the mass attenuation coefficient increased with the increasing of Bi₂O₃concentration. Half Value Layer (HVL) of glasses were determined and compared with the some standard shielding materials. The optical and physical properties were also investigated.
