VeriShield TM Ultra-High Density Modular Radiation Shielding

Product catalog summary
Overview: VeriShield is an advanced modular radiation shielding system designed to create leak-free therapy rooms of any size or shape. The system uses interlocking modules with unique sine-wave shapes to eliminate straight line seams, enhancing neutron, photon, and particle attenuation.
Specifications: The modules are available in two densities: V250 (250 lbs./cu.ft or 4 g/cu.cm) and V300 (300 lbs./cu.ft or 5 g/cu.cm). Standard block size is 5” x 5” x 10” (127 x 127 x 254 mm), with a compressive strength of 5,200 psi. The modules are insoluble, non-reactive, and stable under normal conditions.
Design and Construction: VeriShield modules interlock to form a stable structure with 100% shielding effectiveness at the seams, preventing radiation streaming. The system is space-efficient, requiring half the space of traditional concrete vaults, and can be deconstructed and reused.
Radiation Attenuation: Attenuation data is provided for both primary and secondary barriers at various energy levels (6MV, 10MV, 15MV, 18MV). The V300 modules offer superior attenuation compared to V250, with thinner required thicknesses for effective shielding.
Composition: Major components include Portland Cement and Gypsum, with potential inclusion of crystalline silica. The product is grey with no odor and poses no fire or explosion hazards.
Advantages: The sine-wave design of VeriShield modules offers superior shielding compared to traditional angular-shaped blocks, which suffer from over 35% reduced effectiveness due to straight line seams. The modules are also lighter, meeting OSHA and HSE lifting requirements, making them easier to handle.

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
