In this paper shielding properties of ordinary, barite, serpentine and steel-magnetite concretes in 511, 662 and 1332 keV gamma ray energies were studied using MCNP-4C code and compared with available experimental results. The simulated and measured values were compared and the results showed reasonable agreement for all concretes. Steel-magnetite has higher linear and mass attenuation coefficients, and lower transmission factor, HVL and TVL values relative to other concretes in each photon energies studied in this research.
