2. Borated UHMWPE sheets have a wide range of applications as extreme shielding，key Application Scenarios
*Nuclear Power Plants and Nuclear Facilities:
Neutron Shielding Components: Used as neutron shielding layers around reactors, in spent fuel pools, and in nuclear waste transport and storage containers (e.g., spent fuel storage racks, transport casks).
Operational Platforms and Shielded Doors: Fabrication of movable or lightweight shielding walls, workstations, and protective doors.
*Medical and Scientific Research:
Radiotherapy Rooms and Particle Accelerator Shielding: Used for neutron protection around hospital radiotherapy rooms, proton/heavy-ion therapy centers, and research accelerators.
*Radioisotope Production and Processing Facilities.
*Nuclear Emergency Response and Defense:
Mobile Shielding Units: Used for temporary shielding during nuclear accident emergency response and nuclear decommissioning projects.
Special Equipment Protection: Provides shielding for potential radioactive sources in military or aerospace equipment.
*Industrial Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Used around high-energy X-ray or gamma-ray flaw detection equipment to shield generated neutrons (certain high-energy radiation can produce neutrons via photonuclear reactions).
3. Additional Applications from Other Properties
Lightweight Structural Components: Compared to traditional shielding materials like lead, concrete, or all-metal materials, it is much lighter, facilitating easier installation and movement, and reducing the load on support structures.
Machinability: It can be cut, drilled, and tapped like ordinary engineering plastics, allowing for convenient fabrication into shielding components of various complex shapes.
Certain Wear Resistance and Mechanical Strength: The addition of boron carbide and carbon materials makes it harder and more wear-resistant than standard polyethylene sheets, enabling it to withstand certain mechanical loads.
