Production of New Nanocomposites for Neutron and Gamma Shielding and Modeling of the Attenuation Phenomena Using Computational Methods, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Outokesh, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Vosoughi, Naser (Supervisor) ; Kiani, Mohammad Amin (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
If nuclear radiation is not weakened and absorbed, it can cause serious damage to human devices or the environment. Dual-purpose dry casks are one of the sources of nuclear radiation production as a place to keep the spent fuel assemblies. One of the ways to protect against them is to use shield. One of the most common of them is composite shield. The composite used in this study has a polymer matrix. The matrix of the used polymer is epoxy resin. In this study, two separate composites have been made to attenuate neutron and gamma radiation. In this thesis, first, by using the MCNPX code, the necessary simulations for the design and construction of composite shields have been carried out....
