Abstract
Accurate measurement have been made to determine radiation transmission of boron compounds by using an extremely narrow collimated beam transmission method for 59.54 and 80.99 keV gamma energy with a Si(Li) detector. Appreciable variations were observed in the transmission factors of the concrete samples including different boron wastes (borogypsum and colemanite concentrator waste). Additionally, mass attenuation coefficients were also calculated. It is seen that μ/ρ is increased with increasing boron concentration in the concrete and the both kind of boron waste have nearly the same property in the radiation transmission.
