Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide chemically bonded oxide-phosphate ceramic having unique radiation shielding characteristics.SOLUTION: In a composition and a method of forming a radiation shielding member at ambient temperature, the composition comprises a 'cold-fired' chemically bonded oxide-phosphate ceramic cement matrix, one or more radiation shielding members are suitably prepared and distributed in the 'cold-fired' chemically bonded oxide-phosphate ceramic cement matrix. The radiation shielding member is selected from a group consisting of barite, barium oxide, barium sulfate, cerium oxide, tungsten oxide, gadolinium oxide, deterioration uranium oxide, annealed leaded glass powder and fiber of 40% to 75%, zeolite, clinoptilotite, and celestite.
