Also FLUKA Monte Carlo code was used to simulate total macroscopic cross sections, absorbed doses and deposited energies by low energy neutron interactions. Besides half value layers of samples were calculated and compared to paraffin. As a result, ascending concentration of boron atoms can enhance neutron shielding property of samples. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.falseBoron ores | FLUKA Monte Carlo code | HVL | Neutron shielding | Total macroscopic cross sectionInvestigation of neutron shielding properties depending on number of boron atoms for colemanite, ulexite and tincal ores by experiments and FLUKA Monte Carlo simulationsArticle10.1016/j.apradiso.2011.09.0062-s2.0-81755173513
