Proton Door Fact Sheet Advancing the Science of Radiation Shielding World’s First Direct Entry Proton Door Radiation Protective Bi-Pa rting Proton Doors Veritas has introduced the world’s first Bi-Parting Door System for Proton Facilities. Installed in Knoxville,TN the new doors represent a significant advancement in safe, high-performance photon and neutron attenuating shielded door systems. • Provides a direct entry design option Eliminate Entry Mazes Save Space and Reduce Costs • Fast open/close speeds – Through the use of proprietary VeriShieldTM radiation shielding materials and a unique mechanical design, Veritas can offer a door that provides complete radiation protection in a direct-entry configuration and can replace lengthy maze entry paths. • Saves space and simplifies room design • 100% shielding guarantee • Unique linear drive system for smooth, reliable operation eliminates the need for partial open sequence • Redundant safety systems for safe operations Single treatment room highlighting the space savings of direct entry vs. maze entry and the thinner wall shielding achievable with Veritas VeriShieldTM modular shielding. Designers and planners can design direct entry treatment rooms to reduce the size, cost and complexity of a new treatment facility. The exceptional attenuation properties of VeriShield provides 100% guaranteed photon and neutron attenuation. Same Inte

Proton Door Fact Sheet The doors are the first bi-parting door configuration to be employed in a Proton Facility. Dry-stacked VeriShieldTM Modules provide the radiation protection within the doors and feature a patent-pending sine-wave design to eliminate potential leakage. No other shielding method provides the blend of protection, convenience and affordability of VeriShield. Weighing in at over 60,000 lbs. (27,216 kg.) per panel, 45" (114 cm) thick and over 7' (213 cm) tall, the doors are operated by an innovative electro-magnetic drive system. Sine-wave shaped leading edges eliminate straight...
