Rely On Nuclear Lead for Hot Cell Shields

Advances in nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceuticals have increased the need for radiation containment chambers, called hot shield cells. These cells are used to safely inspect used nuclear fuel rods or work with items that are high-energy gamma-ray emitters. Most commonly, to process medical isotopes, once irradiated in a nuclear reactor or particle accelerator, would be contained and carried in a hot cell. Nuclear Lead is dedicated to providing our clients with unrivaled hot cells. We take products a step further by offering our Hot Cell Shields nationally. To learn more about our Hot Cell Shields, schedule a consultation.

What Are Hot Shield Cells?

Hot shield cells are specialized radiation containment chambers or cells that allow trained operators to manipulate radioactive isotopes safely and efficiently. They provide a safe environment for companies to better control and manipulate nuclear materials for their needs. These hot cells are mainly used in the nuclear energy or medicine industry, specifically in manufacturing radiopharmaceuticals. Nuclear Lead offers custom-designed hot shield cells to ensure your team can extract plutonium for reactor fuel or process medical isotopes. There are several basic designs for hot cells, including research and development cells, stackable mini-cells, and produce and dispense cells. We’ll work with you to design and manufacture a custom hot shield that seamlessly integrates with your process.
