Custom Heat Shields by Nuclear Lead Company Inc
Rely On Nuclear Lead for Custom Heat 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 custom heat shields nationally. To learn more about our custom heat 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.
Explore Our Custom Hot Shield Cells
At Nuclear Lead, our team works closely with our clients to ensure that the custom heat shields we manufacture meet their needs and can seamlessly integrate into your process. Our team has the training and experience necessary to build personalized hot cells that can be used for particular processes or flexible enough for general use. We can even build your custom hot shield from the ground up. Take a look at our custom hot shield process, including:
- Consultation – Each project starts with a consultation. These consultations allow our teams to understand our client’s needs and processes. We may make recommendations to streamline the process while exceeding our client’s expectations.
- Creating a Mockup – We create full-size mockups of all custom-designed hot cells. This ensures our design meets all client requirements while remaining ergonomic and functional in any safe work environment.
- Manufacturing and Testing – Our team will install your new custom hot shield once entirely manufactured. When completed, we run a factory acceptance test to ensure all documented needs are delivered and everything functions as intended.
- Establish a Design – Once in agreement, we’ll design the custom hot shield cells. This allows the engineers to ensure any hot cell manufactured complies with all federal and state requirements. When we have a workable design, we share this with our clients to make any changes based on feedback.
- Finalized Engineer – We’ll start finalizing the detailed engineering documents when the mockup is approved and meets all preliminary standards. This is where our team verifies our solutions fully meet the needs of our clients.
