Abstract :
The surrounding conditions of the shielding
concrete, (moisture and temperature), affect the water
content within it, and therefore, the attenuation
coefficient of the concrete. In this study, the impact of
changing the amount of water, in four types of local
candidate shielding concretes was investigated. The
concrete attenuation coefficient of gamma-rays has been
identified experimentally and computationally using the
MCNP-4C code. The results show a significant decrease
in the attenuation coefficient of each the four concrete
samples due to the water losses, especially between 20-
100 oC.
Acceptable compatibility was noticed between the
measured and calculated results of the attenuation
coefficient of the studied concrete samples.
