Every month at Nuclead we ship a large variety of lead-based products such as Lead Acrylic, Lead Alloys, Lead Rod, Lead Castings
In addition, this this month we are working on lead fabrication and CNC machining orders to ship at later dates. The lead items proceeding in the factory are sensitive with both deliveries and tolerances.
Among these ‘WIP” orders are Lead Shielding for mobile backscatter x-ray equipment. Backscatter images quickly and clearly reveals threats like explosives, drugs, currency, and trade-fraud items such as alcohol and cigarettes—even in high-throughput environments like border crossings and security checkpoints.
Here are some of the items we shipped recently to customers around the USA.
