Aircraft Carrier Nuclear Shielding Compartment
Borated polyethylene sheets are applied for aircraft carrier nuclear shielding compartments to achieve efficient neutron and radiation protection.
The shielding compartments of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are mainly designed to resist various ionizing radiation generated by the operation of nuclear reactors, ensuring the safety of ship crews and equipment. Its core protection targets include neutron radiation and gamma rays released during the fission reaction of nuclear fuels such as U-235. Fast neutrons produced by nuclear reactors feature strong penetrating power, which can be decelerated and absorbed through interaction with atomic nuclei in shielding materials.
