Non-destructive testing (NDT) is one of the most popular ways to ensure a consistent level of quality control during the manufacturing process due to its ability to go beyond the surface of the product, and detect imperfections we wouldn’t normally find.Its primary purpose is to act as a line of defense, preventing vital components (railroad […]

If you’ve read any of our previous blogs, you know that radiation shielding is an essential safety measure in both the industrial and medical industry. We’ve talked about this at length before, but for new readers, it’s crucial to note that radiation shielding works by using dense shielding materials to block ionizing radiation and reduce the […]

Gamma radiation is a form of ionizing radiation that has been widely used in various fields like medicine, industry, and agriculture. It is important to understand this type of radiation in order to properly handle it and prevent exposure.In this blog, we will discuss the properties of gamma radiation, its production, how it affects living organisms, […]

Radiation shielding is a crucial component in facilities that use radioactive materials, particle accelerators, or any other sources of ionizing radiation. A radiation shielded room design must take into account the type of radiation used, the potential exposure to individuals, and the intended use of the facility. In this post, our highly experienced design team will explore […]

Our team of physicists understand the importance of accurately calculating radiation shielding in various industries such as medical, nuclear, and space. In this blog post, we’ll provide an overview of what radiation shielding calculations are, what factors affect them and the methods we use to calculate the proper radiation shielding for our shielding studies.Types of […]

Radiation shielding doors are an important tool for protecting people and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. These doors are used in a variety of settings, including nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and research labs, to reduce the amount of radiation that is emitted or absorbed.In this blog, we talk about everything […]
