Technical Field

Background
With the development of the nuclear industry, post-treatment plants and spent fuel storage devices store large amounts of spent fuel and radioactive waste. The accumulated spent fuel can release thermal neutrons, the thermal neutrons need to be shielded and wrapped, and the wrapping material needs to have thermal neutron absorption capacity and mechanical strength. The common thermal neutron absorbing materials comprise polyethylene, boron, cadmium, silver and other heavy metals, and are generally realized by adding low-cost natural boron into the common metal materials due to the large demand of shielding materials and high requirements on mechanical strength. The boron content is generally determined according to the shielding requirement and the absorption section calculation of thermal neutrons in the design stage, and errors possibly caused by the manufacturing method and the technical process are ignored in the mode; however, due to different manufacturing methods and processes, certain differences necessarily exist between the content of the thermal neutron absorbing nuclide and the design value, so that the content of the thermal neutron absorbing nuclide is essential to be measured. In addition, there are methods in the industry that intercept a section of material and give the content of nuclide components through chemical analysis, but since B-10 absorbs thermal neutrons, chemical analysis can only give the content of B, if the content of B-10 is estimated according to the abundance of natural boron, the deviation is too large and the result is inaccurate.
In the field of nuclear industry, the areal density of useful thermal neutron absorbing nuclides is an effective parameter for evaluating the shielding effectiveness of thermal neutron shielding materials. With the development of the nuclear industry, the demand of thermal neutron shielding materials is increased, and the traditional method cannot rapidly finish the surface density measurement of each material. Therefore, there is a need to develop a method for rapidly and accurately measuring the areal density of thermal neutron absorbing species of samples without destroying the physical structure of the samples, so as to be suitable for industrial applications.
