Abstract

Ionizing radiation finds its part in a wide spectrum of fields such as medicine, industry and research. These radiations in the form of alpha, beta, neutron particles, gamma and X-rays are very dangerous for not only humans but also for biotic and abiotic environments. The present article briefly works out the irradiation shielding ability of some potential composite materials to recognize the shielding tendency and enabling the same to find some promising applications in defense as well as nuclear research. The physics of irradiation decay and shielding is appraised in this critique. This review article studies about various materials employed for the attenuation of nuclear radiations and their response in terms of attenuation rates (I/I0 ) after exposure to the radiation. The study also focuses on the mechanical performance of the shielding materials meticulously for the application of dry storage of the spent fuel possessing a potential threat of radiation hazards. Moreover the evolution of composite materials in the structural applications is contemplated.
