The rational utilization and safe disposal of depleted uranium is a long-term problem difficult to be solved by the international nuclear engineering community. As a shielding material for naval nuclear power plant,it is a possible way to utilize depleted uranium. This paper reviews the physical,chemical,mechanical,shielding and other aspects of depleted uranium materials,mainly DU concrete as radiation protection materials. Combining with specific requirements of radiation protection for naval nuclear power plant,aiming at the simplified model...
