摘要

In this study, the radiation shielding performance of concretes fabricated with basalt, sand, cement, peanut shell ash (PNSA), CaO, Al2O3, and SiO2 was evaluated using Phy-X software. Cement was systematically replaced with a mixture of PNSA, CaO, Al2O3, and SiO2. The densities increased from 2.050 g/cm3 (PA0) to 2.130 g/cm3 (PA60). At 0.600 MeV, the linear attenuation coefficients (LAC) ranged between 0.142 and 0.154 cm−1 for PA0 and PA60, respectively. PA60 exhibited the highest density, LAC, thermal stability, and structural integrity, confirming it as the optimum mix for gamma radiation protection.
