VeriShield TM Ultra-High Density  Modular Radiation Shielding - 1

Advancing the Science of Radiation Shielding Ultra-High Density Modular Radiation Shielding Groundbreaking system of dry stacked shielding modules which interlock to form a tight, leak-free therapy room of any size or shape. Unique sine-wave shapes eliminate straight line seams and provides superior neutron, photon and particle attenuation at the joints. Available in two densities - 250 and 300 lbs./cu.ft. (4 and 5 g/cu.cm.).VeriShield construction requires half the space of mass concrete vaults. Standard VeriShield blocks are 5” x 5” x 10” (127 x 127 x 254mm). Block are also available in half thicknesses, with a nominal thickness of 2.5 inches (63 mm). VeriShield radiation shielding components are individual elements or modules which are combined together to form a composite structure to create the required radiation attenuating environment.The constructed system retains the ability to be deconstructed and reused. VeriShield products are manufactured in a controlled environment and incorporate high Z aggregates (for photon attenuation) as well as neutron additive materials. The VeriShield photon, neutron and electron shielding modules feature a design that presents a full 100% interlocking edge. Lapping or alternating of the seams results in the prevention of straight line paths for radiation streaming. Modules interlock together to form a solid and stable structure. Compressive strength is guaranteed to meet 2,800 psi. This product routinely easily surpasses this minimum and is typically on the order of 5,200 psi. Grout materials will have a lesser compressive strength as water content is increased for working properties, but shall not be less than 2,800 psi when mixed on si

VeriShield TM Ultra-High Density  Modular Radiation Shielding - 3

Angular-shaped shielding blocks represent an old technique that retains several weaknesses in both design and constructability. With the ability of radiation to pass through the straight line seams of each block, the effectiveness of the shielding is reduced by over 35%.
