Spectral, Radiation-Optical and Shielding Properties of Phosphate Glasses with High Lead Content

Spectral, radiation optical, and radiation shielding properties of new phosphate glasses, TPF, with high lead content (up to 40 mol. % PbO) were studied. They are characterized by the heightened radiation optical resistance at exposure doses up to 5*107 R, and by the improved radiation shielding properties as compared with similar data of silicate glasses with the same lead content. A TPF boundary of semi-transmission for a 1 cm thick glass layer lies approximately at 355 nm, its absorption coefficient, µ, for γ-quanta of 137Cs (0.663 MeV) and 60Co (1.25 MeV) reach 0.373 and 0.240 cm-1 whereas µ’s of the Russian radiation resistant strong flint TF110 (40 mol. % PbO) are equal to 0.355 and 0.214 cm-1. These properties allowed to use TPF instead of strong silicate flints as material for observation radiation schielding windows of facilities of special usage.

Materials Used

Construction materials used in the nuclear industry used to be mainly heavy materials, including lead plates, radiation-resistant heavy concrete, etc. However, these materials are either toxic after a long time of use (lead) or difficult to construct (radiation-resistant heavy concrete) and their cost is rather high. Therefore, there is a need for the manufacturing of a new kind of material with good radiation resistance, which is light, easy to use, and costs less. Barium is less toxic and more cost-effective than lead. Due to the importance of barium compounds in radiation shielding, the study of gamma radiation interactions within these compounds becomes essential, so the most important part of such a study is the experimental one, which shows the effect of the barite powder in the radiation resistance of the mortar. The research results show that the higher the thickness and percentage of barite powder, the higher is the radiation resistance.
