*Nuclear Radiation Shielding: Neutron shielding materials and neutron detection components
What are the Detailed Functions of Enriched Boric Acid-10?
Nuclear Reactor Power Regulation
It is blended into primary circuit coolant to capture thermal neutrons and adjust reactor power output. Compared with natural boric acid, enriched boric acid-10 requires far lower dosing, which drastically cuts corrosion risks to primary loop equipment. It is an indispensable key material for Hualong One, China’s domestically-developed third-generation nuclear power unit.
BNCT Tumor Therapy
It is synthesized into boron-targeted pharmaceuticals for precise cancer cell ablation. Upon neutron beam irradiation, ¹⁰B captures thermal neutrons and generates alpha particles and lithium-7 ions, which can eliminate tumor cells while inflicting minimal damage to healthy tissues.
Neutron Shielding & Detection
It is used to fabricate ¹⁰B-loaded concrete to strengthen the neutron shielding performance of radiation barriers, or produce ionization chambers coated with boron-10 for neutron measurement.
