Abstract

In this study, the fast neutron removal cross section (FNRCS), mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ), half-
value thickness (HVL), tenth value thickness (TVL), mean free path (λ), total electronic cross section (σte), total
molecular cross section (σtm), effective atomic number (Zeff) and the effective electronic density (Neff) the values
were calculated for nickel-based shape memory alloy at different energy. Important another nuclear attenuation
parameter relevant to shielding i.e. the fast neutron removal cross section (FNRCS) was be calculated for alloys.
NiTiPt possesses the best FNRCS (= 0.143) among the present studied alloys.
