Research abstract
This NASA SBIR Phase I proposal presents an unprecedented laser additive manufacturing system for making radiation shielding components, by mixing various powders that effectively shield neutron and gamma radiation. With our successful history in additive manufacturing, this proposal has a great potential to succeed. A proof of concept demonstration were carried out and samples were delivered at the end of Phase 1. Prototypes in compliant with the neutron and gamma radiation shielding requirement will be delivered at the end of Phase II.
