The role of natural rock filler in optimizing the radiation protection capacity of the intermediate-level radioactive waste containers

The present work aims to optimize the radiation protection efficiency for ion-selective containers used in the liquid treatment for the nuclear power plant (NPP) cooling cycle. Some naturally occurring rocks were examined as filler materials to reduce absorbed dose and equivalent dos received from t...
