مستخلص: The article reports on the American Concrete Institute guidance for assessing radiation-shielding concrete (RSC) aggregates. RSC is used in nuclear power plants, radiation therapy facilities and storage casks for radioactive waste. The most common aggregates used in RSC are made from ores like hematite and ilmenite. Petrographic examination of aggregates for RSC are said to involve a higher level of quality assurance requirements and results interpretation may require engineering judgment.
