KALMATRON® KF-αβγ TEST RESULTS CHINA

KALMATRON® KF-αβγ

TEST RESULTS ANALYSES

This test procedure was provided by KALMATRON AUSTRALIA, LTD under the management of Dr. Robert Usher in China for recognition of KALMATRON® KF-αβγ field of application.

The significance of this test procedure is that concrete to be protected by KALMATRON® KF-αβγ has very low density.

Not being suitable for radiation protection, the concrete coated with KALMATRON® KF-αβγ performed targeted radiation attenuation. It opened new possibility for the low class concretes to be accepted in the nuclear industry.

Below is a translation of test procedure description, test results and conclusions about KALMATRON® KF-αβγ effectiveness for upgrading of low class concrete up to the range of radiation shielding materials.

The conclusion of test results shown below is:

a) 50 mm thick concrete panel plus 10 m thick KF-αβγ, the quantity of radiation was reduced by 38.4% 

    after 110 minutes. After 29 days, the quantity of radiation was reduced by 41%.

b) 50 mm thick concrete panel plus 20 mm thick KF-αβγ, the quantity of radiation was reduced by 42.1%

    after 230 minutes.

c) 50 mm thick concrete panel plus 30 mm thick KF-αβγ, the quantity of radiation was reduced by 45.9%

    after 230 minutes. After 29 days, the quantity of radiation was reduced by 50%.
