Description

Shielding properties of polyethylene (PE), heavy concrete (HC), ordinary concrete (OC), lead (Pb) and their multilayers PE + HC, PE + OC and PE + Pb have been measured. The results of this investigation reveal the effectiveness of the multilayers over their respective composites for neutron shielding. (Author)
