In this work, B 4 C is added into concrete as fine aggregates to test the attenuation properties by getting the attenuation coefficient of the concrete/B 4 C. The samples of concrete/B 4 C were exposing to the thermal neutron radiation source (241-Americium-Berylium) at the dos rate of 29.08 mR/h. The result show that the attenuation coefficient of the sample with 20wt% B 4 C is 0.299cm -1 and the sample without B 4 C is 0.238cm -1 and hence, concrete/B 4 C is suitable as a shield for thermal neutron radiation. ABSTRAK Boron karbida adalah bahan seramik yang berkesan untuk menyerap neutron terma kerana ia mempunyai keratan rentas penyerapan neutron yang luas. Dalam kajian ini, B 4 C ditambah dalam konkret dalam bentuk agregat halus bagi menguji sifat pelemahan menerusi penilaian pekali pelemahan konkret/B4C. Sampel konkret telah didedahkan kepada sum...
