Cucinotta, F.A. Among the commonly used neutron-gamma integrated shielding materials, polyethylene and epoxy resins have the advantages of good shielding, stable chemical properties, light weight, and small size as polymeric materials often used in the field of radiation protection; aluminum alloys are stronger and can easier meet the mechanical properties of the material, in addition to good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and low density. Compared to borated polyethylene, which has a tenth value layer of 8 inches, Silflex neutron shielding typically has a tenth value layer of 2 inches. For example by reaction (for antineutrinos) can generate nuclear fuel plutonium Pu. Gamma shielding parameters Expand Ouda, A.S.; Abdelgader, H.S. Primary Radiation. Radiation 2023, 3, 1-20.
