Boron Polyethylene Rod Description
Boron Polyethylene Rod is a new type of shielding material against neutron radiation, which has been widely used in nuclear power, medicine, national defense, and other industries. In the Boron Polyethylene Rod, boron can play a good absorption role. The reaction cross section of boron to neutrons is relatively large, and neutrons can be completely absorbed by boron before the hydrogen reaction occurs, thus playing a complete shielding role.
Boron Polyethylene Rods can effectively prevent the harm of nuclear radiation and neutron radiation to individuals and society. It also has extremely high wear resistance and excellent chemical corrosion resistance.

Boron Polyethylene Rod Application
Radiation Protection: Boron polyethylene rods are used extensively in nuclear facilities, medical environments, and industrial settings for neutron radiation shielding. They effectively absorb neutrons due to boron's high neutron absorption cross-section, combined with polyethylene's ability to moderate and scatter neutrons.
2. Radiation Protection: In medical facilities such as radiology rooms and oncology centers, boron polyethylene rods are employed to shield personnel and patients from neutron and gamma radiation emitted during diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy procedures.
3. Neutron Absorption: Boron polyethylene rods are used in research reactors and neutron sources to control and manage neutron flux. They help maintain safe experimental conditions and protect researchers from neutron radiation.
4. Safety Barriers: Used as safety barriers and shielding in industrial radiography applications where radioactive sources are used for non-destructive testing. Boron polyethylene rods ensure worker safety by effectively attenuating radiation.
5. Criticality Control: Applied in storage containers and facilities for radioactive waste to prevent criticality accidents. Boron polyethylene rods help manage neutron emissions from stored radioactive materials, ensuring safe long-term storage.
6. Criticality Prevention: Boron polyethylene rods are used in containers and packaging for transporting radioactive materials. They contribute to maintaining subcritical conditions during transport, reducing the risk of accidental nuclear chain reactions.
7. Radiation Shielding: Utilized in military and defense applications for shielding against nuclear radiation and enhancing the protection of personnel and equipment in radiologically hazardous environments.
8. Safety Enhancements: Boron polyethylene rods are used in educational institutions and training facilities for nuclear science and radiological safety training. They provide practical demonstrations of radiation shielding principles.
