Determination of shielding parameters for different types of resins

•The gamma and neutron shielding properties of four types of resin have been investigated.•The total mass attenuation coefficients have been calculated using WinXCom computer programs.•The macroscopic fast neutron removal cross-sections have been calculated theoretically.•The total mass attenuation coefficient and the macroscopic fast neutron removal cross-section depend on chemical content.•The resin 250WD is effective for shielding fast neutrons, and heavy resins are effective for shielding gamma rays.
