A multi-function glass shield for neutrons and gamma rays of boron- and bismuth-reinforced silicate glass

AbstractA successful attempt to produce a multi-function glass shield for attenuating neutrons and gamma rays by reinforcing a silicate glass network with boron and bismuth has been accomplished. A composition of 20SiO2-80Na2O (BSiBi0) was proposed to be used as a host glass network and prepared using the melt/annealing techniques. The low concentration of SiO2 in BSiBi0 was not sufficient to form a stable glass network. Then, the proposed BSiBi0 was modified with 10, 20, 30, and 40 mol% of each of B2O3 and Bi2O3 (BSiBi1, BSiBi2, BSiBi3, and BSiBi4) simultaneously. The structural effects of adding B3+ and Bi3+ were studied through X-ray diffraction, density, and FTIR, which all showed enhancement of glass forming ability, a former role of Bi3+ ions, and crowded the glass network by BO4 units. The derived structural parameters $$-$$ - molar volume, mean silicon – silicon separation, mean boron – boron separation, oxygen packing density, packing density, and number of bridging/non-bridging oxygen $$-$$ - were extensively discussed to explore the impact of B3+ and Bi3+ on the formed network. The richness of the proposed host glass network by B3+ and Bi3+ enhanced its thermal stability. The obtained elastic properties by ultrasonic measurements reflect the increase of the glass rigidity with increasing concentrations of B3+ and Bi3+ ions. The obtained glasses have high visible light transparency and almost complete UV absorption. The measured shielding parameters against two types of neutron energies (total slow and slow) and a wide range of gamma rays’ energies showed a significant improvement in the shielding efficiency of the considered glasses. The total slow neutrons, slow neutrons, and gamma rays’ attenuation abilities were improved by 22.9, 135.5, and 73.8 $$-$$ - 199.5%. High thermal stability, elasticity, visible light transparency, and neutrons and gamma rays’ attenuation performance features give the produced glasses, especially BSiBi4 glass, preference as shielding materials in nuclear fields.

Abstract Aluminium, tungsten and aluminium - tungsten ferritic stainless-steel alloys were developed and produced using 30 kg pilot plant induction furnace of medium frequency at the same conditions to be applied in nuclear reactor shielding material. Higher hardness, ultimate strength, and ultimate tensile strength are appeared in the developed alloys. Aluminium stainless-steel elongation had lower values. Total slow neutrons, neutrons > 10 keV, and slow neutrons of aluminium-tungsten based ferritic stainless steel alloys which carried out using 241Am-Be neutron source as well as a wide range up to 1400 keV energies of gamma rays, which emitted from Co-60, Cs-137 and Eu-152, were used by means of sodium iodide (Tl) detector and studied using the XCOM program. Results showed that all studied stainless-steel alloys own a converge values of neutron macroscopic cross sections (Σ, cm“1). Moreover, there is no significant variation of the value of mass attenuation coefficients (σ, cm2/g) for the studied alloys. Good agreement between both experimental and calculated results of mass attenuation coefficients was achieved. A new composition for several nuclear applications such as, nuclear shielding applications were achieved.

The neutron shielding properties of a borated high density glass system was characterized experimentally. The total removal macroscopic cross-section of fast neutrons, slow neutrons as well as the linear attenuation coefficient of total gamma rays, primary in addition to secondary, were measured experimentally under good geometric condition to characterize the attenuation properties of (75-x) B2O3-1Li2O-5MgO-5ZnO-14Na2O-xBaO glassy system. Slabs of different thicknesses from the investigated glass system were exposed to a collimated beam of neutrons emitted from 252Cf and 241Am-Be neutron sources in order to measure the attenuation properties of fast and slow neutrons as well as total gamma rays. Results confirmed that barium borate glass was suitable for practical use in the field of radiation shielding.
