The present work novelty pointed to fabricate new clay bricks doped with heavy minerals to be used in the building materials as a candidate for radiation shielding. The bricks were manufactured as (y)_{Iron mineral}+ (1-y)_clay, where y = 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 fractional weight. The prepared bricks' chemical composition and density were introduced to the MCNP-5 code to assess the prepared bricks' protection capacity. The simulated linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) was confirmed by comparing the simulated results with those calculated by the Phy-X/PSD program. We found that the simulated and calculated LAC were close together. The diff (%) between the MCNP-5 and Phy-X/PSD is in the range ±2% for all the fabricated bricks. The maximum LAC values occurred at 0.015 MeV, varied between 21.540 and 39.553 cm⁻¹ for bricks N0 and N30. The lowest LAC achieved at 15 MeV varied between 0.068 and 0.090 cm⁻¹. Bricks without heavy mineral addition have the lowest LAC values at all energies, ranging from 21.540 cm⁻¹ to 0.068 cm⁻¹, while bricks with 30 wt% heavy minerals have the highest LAC. The half-value layer (HVL) values decreased gradually with increasing the mineral ratio in the fabricated bricks. The thinner brick HVL achieved for the sample N 30 with 30 wt % heavy mineral, growing from 0.017 to 7.675 cm. The effective atomic number (Z_eff) was reported, and we found that the minimum Z_eff values equal to 14.006, 14.865, 15.705, and 16.394 for bricks N 0, N 10, N 20, N 30, respectively.

目前的工作新颖之处在于制造掺有重矿物的新型粘土砖，用于建筑材料作为辐射屏蔽的候选材料。砖被制造为 (y)_铁矿物+ (1-y)_粘土，其中 y = 0、0.1、0.2 和 0.3 分数权重。制备的砖的化学成分和密度被引入到 MCNP-5 规范中，以评估制备的砖的保护能力。通过将模拟结果与 Phy-X/PSD 程序计算的结果进行比较，确认了模拟的线性衰减系数 (LAC)。我们发现模拟和计算的 LAC 很接近。对于所有制造的砖，MCNP-5 和 Phy-X/PSD 之间的差异 (%) 在 ±2% 的范围内。最大 LAC 值出现在 0.015 MeV，N0 和 N30 砖在 21.540 和 39.553 cm ^-1之间变化。在 15 MeV 达到的最低 LAC 在 0.068 和 0.090 cm ^-1之间变化。不添加重矿物的砖在所有能量下的 LAC 值最低，范围为 21.540 cm^-1到 0.068 cm ^-1，而含有 30 wt% 重矿物的砖具有最高的 LAC。半值层（HVL）值随着砖中矿物比例的增加而逐渐降低。具有 30 wt% 重矿物的样品 N 30 获得的较薄砖 HVL，从 0.017 厘米增加到 7.675 厘米。报告了有效原子序数 (Z _eff )，我们发现砖 N 0、N 10、N 20、N 30的最小 Z _eff值分别等于 14.006、14.865、15.705 和 16.394。
