Manufacture of Shielding for Attenuation Ionization Ray by the Preparation of Nano Gadolinium Oxide with PMMA
Amjed Mohammed Shreef , Nura Anwer Abdulzahara
Abstract
In this research, the coefficient of linear absorption, Half-value layer and Effective atomic number of the composite
material for gamma ray of gadolinium oxide with PMMA (Gd2O3- PMMA) for shields made with varying concentrations
(10%, 20%, 30%, 40%) and varied thicknesses The impact of raising the shield thickness when the concentration of
each thickness is increased. The gamma ray radiation source was Cs-137and Co-60 which have (activity 10 µci and
energy of 0.662 MeV, activity 1µci and energies 1.173 -1.332 (MeV) were used in measurement, As an electrical system,
a scinatelaion detector (NaI (Tl)) was utilized with a (2x2)" for ORTEC software program (Scintivision-Buffer) with an
integrated measurement system. The results reveal that when the concentration of nano particle-gadolinium oxides
raised and the thickness of the produced layer increased, the attenuation coefficient and effective atomic number
values increased of the prepared composite However, as the concentration and thickness of the composite increased,
the Half-value layer values dropped
