摘要：
Gamma ray exposure buildup factor (EBF) and neutron shielding efficiency of borate glass systems in composition (100 − x − y) Na2B4O7−xPbO−yNiO (where x and y = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 weight percentage) were investigated in the present study. Gamma ray EBF values were computed using Geometric Progression (G-P) method for photon energy 0.015 to 15 MeV up to penetration depths of 40 mfp (mean free path). The macroscopic effective removal cross-sections (ΣR) for fast neutron (2 to 12 MeV) were calculated. At low- and high-energy region, the EBF values were found minimum whereas maximum in the intermediate-energy regions with a sharp peak below 100 keV for oxide containing glass samples. The investigation was carried out for potential applications of borate glasses for radiation shielding.
