Shielded Doors
Radiation Protection for High-Energy Environments
At Nuclear Shields, we manufacture and supply shielded doors constructed with lead and/or borated polyethylene (borated PE) for installations exposed to strong gamma or neutron radiation. These doors are designed for nuclear, industrial, and research environments where maximum shielding and operational reliability are essential.
What are shielded doors made of?
Shielded doors provide a dense, continuous barrier that matches the protection level of surrounding shielding walls and structures.
- Lead-lined doors are used to contain gamma radiation and other high-energy photons.
- Lead & Borated PE doors are used to reduce neutron radiation by moderating and capturing neutrons before they leave the controlled area.
Why choose shielded doors from Nuclear Shields
- High shielding capacity: Built with thick lead or borated PE cores to meet demanding attenuation requirements.
- Custom-engineered: Dimensions, material composition, and mechanical operation tailored to your facility.
- Automated options: Available with power-assisted operation, interlocks, and safety controls.
