Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is a Boron Carbide Neutron Shield Plate?
A Boron Carbide Neutron Shield Plate is a high-purity material made from boron carbide, known for its excellent neutron absorption properties. It is commonly used in high-radiation environments such as nuclear reactors and medical radiation therapy facilities.

Q2: How does Boron Carbide absorb neutrons?
Boron carbide contains boron-10 (B-10), which is highly effective in capturing neutrons. Upon interaction with neutrons, the boron isotope undergoes a nuclear reaction, absorbing the neutron and converting it into non-harmful particles.

Q3: What industries use Boron Carbide Neutron Shield Plates?
Boron carbide plates are widely used in the following sectors:

• Nuclear reactors for radiation protection.
• Medical facilities for radiation therapy.
• Research institutions dealing with particle accelerators or nuclear research.
• Nuclear power plants for critical shielding and reactor control.

Q4: What makes Boron Carbide ideal for neutron shielding?
Boron Carbide’s high neutron capture cross-section and its stability under extreme environmental conditions make it an optimal choice for neutron shielding applications.
