Borated Paraffin
chemical formula: N/A
( blocks )
Whoa! Slow down them Neutrons!
For those conducting experiments with Neutron capture, Borated Paraffin is a must. Slows Neutrons down into the thermal range so they can be captured by other elements. Use as-is, or easily melt and cast into the desired shape. Blocks measure about 2.5" x 3.5" and are 1.5" thick. See this link for a typical Neutron capture/activation experiment.
