Nuclear reactor in its operating stage through fission or fusion reaction, produces different radiation (α, β, γ, n, p, etc.). Among all, neutron and gamma are considered as a prime radiation corresponds to its energy and penetration. The kind and quantity of material which is used for shielding depend upon the factors like a type of radiation, the dose rate, intensity of radiations. Including these, the other factors such as cost, weight, fabrication and most important its availability in the country are one has to consider. On the above mention points, the studies of the absorption of radiation in materials have become an important issue and thus it is desirable to have the knowledge about the effective materials for neutron and gamma. For neutron shielding low atomic elements (Z) are used, mainly which have more hydrogen contain. In the present paper, comparison of previous theoretical data with experimental data for gamma-ray (60Co) source is provided. The final results match with 2-5 % uncertainty.
