Gamma and Neutron Nuclear Shielding Flasks for High Dose Radiation Sources
In the highly regulated nuclear industry, safety, integrity, and precision are of paramount importance when handling radioactive materials. Unified Engineering specializes in providing turnkey solutions for radiation shielding, offering a range of engineered shielding flasks designed to minimize radiation exposure and ensure safe transport and storage. Our expertise spans from design and dose reduction calculations to the creation of lifting devices, all while adhering to strict industry standards and regulatory requirements.
The Challenge:
Handling radioactive materials safely requires shielding solutions that comply with strict safety standards while minimizing exposure. In particular, managing nuclear waste and transporting radioactive sources through nuclear facilities demands high-performance shielding, effective dose reduction, and reliable lifting devices to ensure safe handling and transportation. These applications also require ongoing integrity verification to prevent leaks or failures.

The Solution:
Unified Engineering provides a comprehensive approach to radiation shielding, offering custom-designed shielding flasks that are tailored to the specific needs of nuclear environments. Our process includes radiation shielding design, dose reduction calculations, and engineered lifting devices for safe handling. The lead shielding flasks are carefully fabricated and filled with molten lead for superior radiation protection. Integrity tests are conducted to ensure that the flasks meet the required airtight and mechanical standards.
The Benefit:
Our radiation shielding flasks are engineered to meet ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles, ensuring optimized radiation protection. The integration of load-tested lifting devices enhances safety during transportation and handling. With our expertise in shielding design and certified welding capabilities, we provide reliable, compliant solutions for nuclear waste management and the safe transport of radioactive materials.
