Most popular size of nuclear grade Boron carbide B4C
Nuclear grade boron carbide (B4C) doesn’t have a single, most popular size as its size requirements vary by application. Here are some common particle sizes and dimensions found in relevant applications:
- Particle size4: In nuclear shielding panels and reaction control rods, common nuclear – grade boron carbide powder particle sizes include 6 microns, 24 microns, 36 microns, 100 microns, etc. For example, the NG24H grade has an average particle size of 24 microns and is often used in nuclear shielding panels and reaction control rods.
- Sheet size: When boron carbide is made into sheets for applications such as neutron shielding, size F100 325MESH is most popular size
