Industrial radiation shielding vaults are an important part of any facility where workers could be exposed to ionizing radiation. As a company with years of experience in creating industrial radiation shielding solutions, we know just how critical it is to keep workers safe from radiation exposure. In this post, we’ll dive into what industrial radiation shielding vaults […]

Like we’ve mentioned before in our previous blog posts, protecting you and your colleagues from radiation exposure is of utmost importance. Radiation shielding is important in a variety of industries, including (but not limited to) industrial, medical, academic, and defense. In this blog, we’ll discuss the most important factors our team considers when developing proper radiation shielding […]

In simplest terms, modular radiation shielding is exactly that, shielding that can be easily constructed and torn down much faster than traditional radiation vaults. Modular radiation shielding can be utilized in many different industries and applications such as industrial, NDT, and medical. In this post, our team will cover the most frequent reasons our customers choose to […]

Applus+ has NDT and inspection support on thousands of projects with an approach to offer a one-stop solution, covering every phase of a project from initial design through to final inspection with […]

If you’re not experienced in the implementation of radiation shielding rooms for your industry, trying to navigate how to construct a radiation shielded room can be difficult. As somebody who might work in the NDT, medical or academic field, you may not be familiar with all of the challenges associated with radiation protection, and that’s […]

Upgrading your oncology center with new cancer treatment machines helps you better serve your patients. Unfortunately, this decision often requires you to build a new radiation shielding room to meet new protection requirements. Design and construction can take anywhere from two months to over a year to complete based on the changes needed. In the […]

Veterinary clinics traditionally use LINAC machines (linear accelerators) to treat animals with radiation therapy for cancer. These treatments are done one to three times per week on average for several weeks. The ability to offer these services on-site is beneficial for veterinary clinics and their clients. However, many veterinarians cannot afford the cost of LINAC […]

Industrial nondestructive testing (NDT) uses X-rays or gamma rays to inspect the internal structure of materials, parts, and assembled products. Industries also use NDT for inspecting the integrity of aircraft, automotive, satellites, or other large objects. FFD REQUIREMENTS IN NONDESTRUCTIVE RADIOGRAPHY TESTING ROOMS For NDT applications, room size is dictated by the type of radiography […]

Radiation shielding is so important.We have always been exposed to natural radiation coming from the earth and outer space. This type of radiation, known as cosmic radiation or cosmic rays, usually isn’t emitted at dangerous levels. However, exposure to radioactive materials or radiography equipment causes serious health risks. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RADIATION? […]

Radiation shielded doors may just be your last line of defense.At Matter Fabs, protecting people from radiation is our passion, and we follow strict guidelines when constructing radiation shielded rooms and doors. In all the industries we work in, we work hard to understand the needs of the operators, doctors, nurses, and physicists.
