Özet
This study investigates the radiation shielding properties of composites containing polyester resin, boron carbide and titanium oxide in varying proportions. The radiation transmittance of the produced composites was measured using radioactive sources 241Am, 137Cs, 133Ba, 60Co, and 22Na across a photon energy range of 59.5 keV–1332.5 keV. To analyze radiation permeability, experimental geometry was simulated using Monte Carlo-based computer codes Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP), Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) and FLUktuierende KAskade or Fluctuating Cascade (FLUKA), and the experimental data were compared with simulation results and theoretical data obtained from WINXCOM. The findings demonstrated a high degree of consistency between experimental, simulation, and theoretical results. Notably, the BCTiO50 sample, which included a 50% addition of TiO2 …
