In this paper shielding properties of ordinary, barite, serpentine and steel–magnetite concretes in 511, 662 and 1332 keV gamma ray energies were studied using MCNP-4C code and compared with available experimental results. The simulated and measured values were compared and the results showed reasonable agreement for all concretes. Steel–magnetite has higher linear and mass attenuation coefficients, and lower transmission factor, HVL and TVL values relative to other concretes in each photon energies studied in this research.
► We compared experimental and simulation data for various concretes in different energies. ► We studied attenuation coefficients, HVL and TVL for several energies and four concretes. ► We used MCNP-4C code for simulation.
