Cement and concrete has been widely used as shielding material in reactor nuclear in order to minimize exposure to individuals. In this paper we present boron based concrete as neutron shielding for nuclear reactor applications. Concrete specimens with dimension of 10x10x10 cm were used and irradiated with neutron radiation of 252-californium. Characterization of physical, mechanical and radiation attenuation properties of concrete were carried out. The results show that the shielding performance is better than ordinary concrete. From the result, we confirmed that the performance of the concrete/boron carbide is suitable for practical use.
