Neutron screening material, for use in protecting radioactive materials, e.g. fuel rods during transport and storage, comprises vinylester resin matrix, one or more polyamides and neutron slowing and absorbing inorganic filler

摘要

A material, for neutron protection and maintenance of sub-criticality, comprises a vinylester resin-based matrix, one or more polyamides and an inorganic filler capable of slowing and absorbing neutrons. An Independent claim is included for a package for the transport, storage and or stocking of radioactive products comprising one or more screens formed from the above material.
