Material Radioactive Resistance
Penetration of X-rays through a metalized concrete surface from the source of radiation is shown by the metallographical method. The ionized field of the concrete’s cross-section is visible as white spots and sparks.
Concrete is an unpredictable material for radioactive protection due to the aging of the structure and its tendency to crumble. Over time, concrete decreases from its original density and this weakens its natural resistance to X-rays. It is well known that radiation destroys concrete, in much the same way that heating and cooling destroys concrete.
Protection from radiation and the theory of Material Radioactive Resistance (MRR) is based upon two things:
The first is to increase natural density by using heavy fillers. However, most of these are poisons and are not technically feasible for use in most civil and fortification structures.
The second is based on a high resistance of free fluctuations to γ particles by dissipation of energy. These so-called dissipative systems are very popular in modern technology.
KF-αβγ is a specially formulated chemical compound, which hardens after mixing with water through a process of new crystal growth. These crystals are singular singonies and are very similar to ice crystals, but with a series of free structural gratings, which works for the dissipation of γ particles striking energy.
This is why even powdered KF-αβγ, which is very crumbly, has a high MRR, which makes it distinctive from the common understanding of radioactive protection.

Metallographical Image of Specimen
The source of the γ radiation is exposed from the back side of the protected concrete.
Ionized fields of the metalized concrete and KF-αβγ layer are recognized by the uncolored spots.
The entire depth of the concrete structure is visible by X-ray. The stream of γ particles is stagnated by the KF-αβγ layer just on the border between the concrete and the KF-αβγ.
