By M. Kinno
Concrete Journal, Vol.42, No.6, Jun. 2004
- Synopsis
- Radiation shielding concrete which retains little residual radioactivity, that is, "low-activation concrete", has been recently used as shielding materials of accelerator facilities. This paper describes the theory and history of low-activation concrete and introduces the applied examples in order to promote better understanding regarding low-activation concrete.
- Keywords:
- Low-activation concrete, radiation shielding, redioactivity, accelerator, nuclear power plant, radioactive waste, reduction of exposure dose
