Aimed to reduce neutron and gamma radiation, this study examined the shielding capability of high-density concretes mixed with Ferro boron in different proportions (25%, 50%, and 75%) replacing granite aggregate, denoted as 25FB, 50FB, and 75FB, respectively, with control specimen designated as CC....
