Journal Article · · Bull. inform. sci. et tech. (Paris)
OSTI ID:4176693
The development of nuclear energy has lnd to the increasing importance of shielding against radiation. Concrete has been considered one of the best materials. However, the density of ordinary concrete is often insufficient. The use of high-density- concrete as radiation shielding is discussed. The characteristics of shielding concretes are tabulated with a description of baryte concretes with iron scraps incorporated and of iron ore concretes. The biological shielding of Saturn and of very hot cells is discussed as two examples of the utilization of heavy concretes. (J.S.R.)
