Hi Luis,

For moderating and killing neutrons you can use borated loaded paraffin
or plastic in general. Here is one material description, of course you
have to add two extra material cards to define the BORON-10 and
BORON-11. The density could vary from 0.85 up to 1.0 and also the
content of boron could vary.

MATERIAL 1.0
POLY-BOR
COMPOUND -0.1351 HYDROGEN -0.8049 CARBON -0.01128 BORON-10
POLY-BOR
COMPOUND -0.04872 BORON-11
POLY-BOR

Regards
Vasilis

Dear FLUKA users,
=20
I would like to use borated parafine in some simulations, can anyone
send me the specifications so I can insert them in my input?
