Lead Bricks: Versatile Options for Radiation Shielding
When adaptability and cost are crical, lead bricks are often the best option for radiation shielding. Lead bricks from Nuclear Lead are a versatile and cost-effective alternative to lead sheets. Nuclear Lead fabricates standard and custom-sized lead bricks for use in temporary or permanent radiation shielding and nuclear shielding construction.
Lead bricks are suitable for gamma shielding rooms, permanent lead storage, coves, glove boxes, hot cells, x-ray shielding, ballast weights and lead walls for medical, energy, and industrial applications. Our 99.9% virgin lead brick is available in both standard and interlocking style and is torch-polished for a smooth, cavity-free surface. Antimony can be added for additional hardness, if desired.
Because of its economical installation cost and adaptability, lead bricks are commonly preferred over lead sheeting. Standard Lead Brick thicknesses from Nuclear Lead include:
2" Lead Bricks
- 2" 3/8" Lead Bricks
- 3" Lead Bricks
- 4" Lead Bricks
- 1 ½" Lead Bricks
- 1" Lead Bricks
Interlocking Lead Bricks
Interlocking lead bricks provide even greater design flexibility and protection from gamma and nuclear radiation. Our interlocking lead brick is grooved for easy stacking and increased structural integrity. The interlocking style removes gaps that can cause radiation leakage, providing the ultimate in shielding for high level radiation exposure.
Interlocking lead bricks provide quick assembly and breakdown for easy portability. Interlocking lead bricks are commonly found in nuclear reactors, radioactive medicine storage, and radioactive lab material storage.
