Özet
This study aimed to determine the radiation (photon and particle) attenuation abilities of Hf added iron-borophosphate glasses considered as a candidate host matrix for Pu containing nuclear waste. Experimental absorption parameters were measured using 133Ba radionuclide for photon radiation, and the same parameters were theoretically calculated using Phy-X/PSD. The obtained data were evaluated comparatively for all glasses depending on the Hf and B contents. It has been determined that all of the glasses examined have photon absorption ability at a level that can be a shielding material for nuclear applications. In addition, the interaction cross-sections with particle radiations were computed using SRIM and ESTAR software. When the data obtained are evaluated thoroughly, it can be said that investigated glasses can be used as shielding in areas that require protection from both photon and particle radiation, in addition to being a candidate material for the vitrification of nuclear wastes containing Pu.
