The equivalent dose rate of irradiation was obtained depending on the distance from the lateral surface and container cover. Container materials were optimized. A new compound was proposed (59.5% phenolic resin with glass fiber filler + 40.5% of titanium and tungsten borides of composition (50% TiB2 + 50% W2B5) and its radiation properties were studied. It is shown that proposed material provides better radiation protection against gamma quanta and neutrons, is lighter than typical ones and can be manufactured using cold polymerization, which does not require significant energy costs.
