A comprehensive study of the shielding ability from ionizing radiation of different mortars using iron filings and bismuth oxide

Abstract The current work discusses the radiation attenuation capability and different shielding characteristics of different mortar samples. The samples were prepared by replacing different percentages of fine aggregate with iron filling and replacing different percentages of hydrated lime with Bi2...
