I believe both Robin and Ralph gave correct answers, which is not surprising since both are engineers. In Google, when I search "barium concrete" along with "radiation" I get 330 hits, and when I search "barite concrete" with "radiation" I get 188 hits. Thank you, Robin and Ralph - Mike :)

barite concrete


Explanation:
This concrete is made with barite, a white, unusually heavy, orthorhombic mineral composed mainly of barium sulfate: it is the chief source of barium and its compounds.

Barite concrete is much heavier than regular concrete, and is used to provide protection against radiation. Check at these examples:
