    Abstract

    The company Arraela S.L. has developed two new materials for use as shields against neutron radiation: CONTEK RNH1 and CONTEK RNB1. These materials have been subjected to physicochemical analysis and has subsequently performed a theoretical capacity of attenuation and backscatter for neutron beams of various energies by Monte Carlo simulation (MC).

    CONTEK RNH1 y CONTEK RNB1 combine different materials that allow both braking fast neutrons and thermal neutron capture. On the one hand, both contain a high amount of hydrogen (effective neutron moderator) in its structure: the first one above 2% in the form of crystallized water, and the second at around 7%. On the other hand, the mineral which are manufactured both contain a high percentage of boron, which has a great ability to absorb thermal neutrons.

    Keywords: neutron, radiation protection, hydrogen, boron.
