摘要
In this study the radiation shielding properties of mortar samples were investigated The samples were created by replacing heavyweight particles of iron, steel and chromium waste by calcareous sand in different volume percentages. Additionally, the effects of the physical properties of particles and samples on shielding properties is also discussed. In the scope of this work, the radiation shielding properties of mortar samples were measured by determining the values of mass attenuation coefficients by means of an experimental setup consisting of Ba-133, Cs-137 and Co-60 standard point sources and high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. It's concluded that the highest mass attenuation coefficient values among the heavy particles were achieved by chromium particles. However, all the high-density particles used in the study improved the radiation shielding properties of the mortars considerably compared to ordinary mortars.
