Neutron-proof wall theory

The neutron-proof wall theory proposes that certain materials or structures can effectively block or absorb neutrons, making them suitable for use in nuclear environments. Unlike ordinary walls, these materials are rich in elements like boron, cadmium, or hafnium, which have high neutron absorption capabilities. The idea is to design barriers that reduce neutron penetration, protecting personnel and equipment from radiation exposure. This theory guides the development of specialized shielding in nuclear reactors and waste storage, ensuring safety by minimizing neutron radiation transmission through walls.
