Description
In this study, a total of 13 refractory high-entropy alloys (HEAs) intended for use in nuclear technology were designed and their radiation shielding performances were systematically evaluated. The study focused on investigating the radiation attenuation characteristics of HEAs composed of refractory elements such as Zirconium, Tungsten, Niobium, Tantalum, and Molybdenum using PhyX/PSD software and MCNP simulation code. Among the designed compositions, the alloy coded ZrWNbTaMo₀.₄ demonstrated superior compatibility in terms of shielding parameters compared to the others. The findings of this research contribute valuable insights into the potential use of refractory HEAs in nuclear applications and present the ZrWNbTaMo₀.₄ alloy as a promising candidate, supporting its inclusion in the scientific literature.
