Neutron Shielding Properties of Some Vermiculite-Loaded New Samples

Nuclear reactor technology is known as an emerging area of study from past to present. It is an implementation of the nuclear sciences including reactions about atomic nucleus and productions. During the construction of a nuclear reactor, the most important issue is nuclear safety. The term of security can be attributed radiation shielding processes. For nuclear reactors, there are several different materials used to radiation shielding. While determining the most appropriate material to shield, the type and energy of radiation is extremely important.
