Veritas VPAC Modular Shielding Packs

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces the Veritas VPACTM, a pre-assembled shielding pack designed to expedite the construction of radiation-shielded rooms. This innovation combines individual VeriShield blocks into a single structural element, allowing for rapid assembly without compromising quality or radiation attenuation.

Specifications and Features

VPAC units interlock to form a homogeneous shielding structure, enabling room construction in days rather than weeks.
Offers 100% guaranteed radiation attenuation when combined with pre-manufactured VPAC ceiling packs.
Features unique sine-wave curves to prevent radiation streaming through joints and ultra-high densities of 250 and 313 lbs./cu.ft., allowing for thinner barriers compared to concrete.
Modular construction allows for reconfiguration, reuse, or resale, maintaining the shielding's value.

Installation and Efficiency

Installation is simplified, requiring minimal crew and no manual handling of individual blocks.
Over 350 VeriShield modular blocks can be installed per lift, significantly reducing installation time.
VPAC units can be adjusted or incorporated with standard VeriShield techniques for challenging site conditions.

Advantages Over Traditional Methods

Replaces massive concrete structures, reducing room footprint by over 40%.
Ensures consistent density, eliminating potential radiation hot spots found in concrete constructions.
VPACs can be recovered and reused, offering flexibility for future upgrades or facility changes.

Conclusion
VPAC represents a significant advancement in radiation shielding technology, providing a faster, more efficient, and reliable alternative to traditional concrete shielding. Veritas continues to lead in product innovation and service, offering comprehensive solutions for radiation protection.

A Proven Alternative to Concrete Radiation Shielding Now Installs Faster and is 100% Guaranteed Effective Introducing a new pre-assembled shielding pack that dramatically reduces the time to construct radiation-shielded rooms. Providing the radiation attenuation and physical characteristics inherent with Veritas VeriShieldTM modules, the new Veritas VPACTM combines individual VeriShield blocks into a single structural element that interlocks with other VPAC units to form a solid homogeneous shielding structure. Shielded rooms are constructed in days instead of weeks, with no decrease in quality, flexibility or attenuation levels. VPAC provides 100% guaranteed attenuation in a shielding unit that, when combined with pre-manufactured VPAC ceiling packs, can be constructed into a fully shielded room in 2 days*. VPAC greatly simplifies the shielding process and will help get your facility operating weeks ahead of schedule. Replace massive concrete structures and build smaller, fully-shielded facilities in less time using Veritas VPACTM Pre-Assembled Cuts installation times by weeks Shielding Packs Install over 350 VeriShield modular blocks per lift. Simplified installation process craned and placed into position using a minimal-sized crew. No manual handling of individual shielding blocks. Integrated bond beams and other structural elements. *Assumes existing foundations/slab and does not include shielded door installation. Medical Solutions
