Lead Blankets

Flexible radiation shielding for nuclear power plants and fuel cycle facilities

Lead blankets provide temporary, repositionable radiation shielding for maintenance work, outage activities, and ALARA dose reduction programs. Nuclear Shields manufactures lead blankets to your specifications, with custom shapes, sizes, and lead thicknesses matched to your shielding requirements.

Our blankets feature high-purity lead encased in durable, contamination-resistant covers. Available with various fastening systems including velcro, grommets, and snap closures for secure attachment around pipes, valves, tanks, and equipment. The flexible construction allows blankets to conform to irregular surfaces while maintaining shielding effectiveness.
