Description

In this work, concrete with different percentage leads was used to study gamma-ray shielding properties. The gamma-rays from 137Cs and 60Co sources were detected by NaI (Tl) detector and analyzed by multi-analyzer. Linear attenuation coefficients and compressive strength (kg/cm2) of concrete specimens were conducted. Results show that the concrete at the 90% weight ratio of lead to cement can be suitable for shielding gamma-ray. (authors)
