dc.description.abstractIn this study, novel rhenium-boron neutron-shielding high-temperature-resistant materials were designed. The considered samples, Re60-B40, Re58-B42, Re50-B50, and Re40-B60, with different concentrations of rhenium and boron were investigated to elucidate their neutron-shielding performances, and compare them with well-known neutron-shielding materials such as the 316LN quality nuclear steel. In addition to the experimental studies, Monte Carlo simulations were performed using the FLUKA and GEANT4 codes, where 4.5-MeV neutrons emitted by a Am-241-Be source were employed. Experimental equivalent dose rates, simulated track lengths, energy balances, and neutron mass absorption cross sections were discussed in detail.
