Application of Petrography to Radiation Shielding Concrete

Abstract

Engineers concerned with the design of radiation shields and the production of shielding concrete may find advantages in making use of geologic and petrographic services in their specialized region of concrete technology. The services offered by a geologist or petrographer to the technology of shielding concrete are discussed.
