I wonder how much research has gone into neutron-deficient materials for shielding?

Depleted uranium is one example but that has terrible implications due to radioactive pollution that would result, disposal costs and risks, etc.

Surprised theres not more research into meta-materials and alloys that are neutron-resistant, neutron-slowing, or neutron-absorbing.
