Abstract

Neutron shielding or attenuation material comprises a major proportion of solid particles of polyethylene or polypropylene and a minor proportion of a pourable settable organic binder. The solid particles may be substantially spherical in shape and of three or more discrete sizes, varying for example by a factor of 10 or 100, so as to ensure close packing. The preferred binder is a vulcanizable elastomeric material, for example a copolymer of butadiene and methacrylic acid, butyl rubber, polyisobutylene, or the polymers described in U.S.A. Specification 2,395,017; the use of waxes or asphaltic material is also referred to. The shielding material may include a minor proportion of a neutron absorbing material containing boron, lithium, cadmium, samarium, gadolinium, europium, dysprosium, erbium, or iridium.
