Calculation for gamma ray buildup factor for aluminium, graphite and lead
The purpose of this work was to investigate and quantify the linear attenuation coefficient and the buildup factor for different materials. The linear attenuation coefficient of absorber materials such as graphite was (0.097 cm‒1), whereas it was observed (0.136 cm‒1) for aluminium, and lead was (0.596 cm‒1). By using the gamma radiation energies emitted from 60Co source with 1332 keV, experimental and theoretical values are in a good agreement. Attenuation coefficient was measured by using counts of good geometry and bad geometry. The result shows that the linear attenuation is higher for lead and better radiation shielding compared with graphite and aluminium. Furthermore, buildup factor decreases with increasing thickness of the absorber material.
期刊介绍:
Today, nuclear reactors generate nearly one quarter of the electricity in nations representing two thirds of humanity, and other nuclear applications are integral to many aspects of the world economy. Nuclear fission remains an important option for meeting energy requirements and maintaining a balanced worldwide energy policy; with major countries expanding nuclear energy"s role and new countries poised to introduce it, the key issue is not whether the use of nuclear technology will grow worldwide, even if public opinion concerning safety, the economics of nuclear power, and waste disposal issues adversely affect the general acceptance of nuclear power, but whether it will grow fast enough to make a decisive contribution to the global imperative of sustainable development.
