Özet

The neutron equivalent dose rates (mu Sv/h) of gypsum, steel-reinforced rubber waste tire, and gypsum-waste tire rubber sandwich composite samples were investigated. Prepared samples were irradiated with Am-241-Be neutrons and transmission values were obtained using dose equivalent rates measured with a BF3 neutron detector. Results were compared to those of concrete, and as a result of neutron shielding, the performance of gypsum, waste tire, and waste tire (steel-reinforced rubber) embedded gypsum samples was higher than that of concrete. This information may be useful for shielding design of nuclear application areas.
