Shielding Construction
Shielding Construction
NuRAD8200
KEY FEATURES• Very firm solution – max. gap between the bricks 2 mm• Wavy interlocks block radiation from passing through• Dry and clean construction, no mortar nor glue needed• Fast construction – app. 2 m3/h in group of three workers (depends on complexity of the construction)
• No need for heavy machinery• Easy decommissioning, no health hazard
Concrete based lead-free material for shielding constructionThe NuRAD 8200 modular system enables the quick and clean erection of shielding constructions with no need of heavy technique. Specific manufacturing together with wave interlock ensure high stability of the shielding walls with no need for mortar or glue. The system is ideal for the reinforcement and upgrading of existing shielding bunkers, for removable enclosures of maintenance openings and other situations, where heavy and dusty work need to be avoided.
TECHNICAL PARAMETERSStandard densities (median): 2.3 t/m3, 3.5 t/m3, 4 t/m3, 5 t/m3
Standard brick dimension:100 x 200 x 400 mm (h x w x l)Magnetite and cast iron used to raise the density
Hand-held manipulators to simplify manipulation with the bricks
System options• Optional boron content (usually 1% to 5%) to shield neutrons
• Patended low backgroundmaterial with low internalcontent of radionuclides
• Seismic reinforcement usingsteel rods is available
• Specifically requested density ranges from 2.35 t/m3 to 5 t/m3
• Hematite and stainless steelinstead of magnetite and caststeel whether non-magneticproperties are requested
• Different dimensions and shapes of the bricks
• Individual prefabricates for ceiling and other constructions
• Various surface finishing and painting enabling easy decontamination, application in cleanrooms etc.
