Absorber 4

Absorber 4 : Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Disasters. Any material that absorbs or lessens the intensity of ionizing radiation. Neutron absorbers (like boron, hafnium, and cadmium) are used in control rods for reactors. Concrete and steel absorb gamma rays and neutrons in reactor shields. A thin sheet of paper or metal will absorb or weaken alpha particles and all except the most energetic beta particles. (See: Shielding)
