High Density Concrete is a concrete that produced to have density more than 2600 kg/m3. And the high density concrete prepared by the same materials like the normal concrete with little difference which is the high weight and low water cement ratio as well as less workability. However, a high density concrete was had a limited use of X-ray protected materials prior to the extensive advance of nuclear reactors and other related devices, the latter was almost entirely responsible for development and research on the manufacturing and employ of a high density concrete as shielding material. This piece of work aim to discuss the wide variety applications for a high density concrete especially in the hospitals and nuclear reactors, and how a high density concrete reduce the effect of radiation on human health. As well as comparison the high density concrete with other alternative methods in both cost and humanity safe. As well as, this research present a case study for an existed hospital which constructed in Iraq by a high density concrete.
