Backscatter X-ray & Defense Customer Places multi-release contract for an order of Assemblies including lead x-ray shielding:
West Bridgewater, MA, 03/20/2019 – Nuclead Co. Inc., a leader in shielding technology, lead material, fabrication and services, announced today the receipt of a large order by an OEM of backscatter x-ray technology.
Backscatter technology produces an image that resembles a chalk etching. Backscatter X-ray is an advanced X-ray imaging technology. Traditional X-ray machines detect hard and soft materials by the variation in x-ray intensity transmitted through the target. In contrast, backscatter X-ray detects the radiation that reflects from the target. It has potential applications where less-destructive examination is required, and can operate even if only one side of the target is available for examination. The technology is one of two types of whole-body imaging technologies that have been used to perform full-body scans of airline passengers to detect hidden weapons, tools, liquids, narcotics, currency, and other contraband. A competing technology is millimeter wave scanner. One can refer to an airport security machine of this type as a “body scanner”, “whole body imager (WBI)”, “security scanner” or “naked scanner”.
All of the Nuclead Co. Inc. components for the project will be delivered in multi-releases into the next Quarter. “Multiple Companies in this space, recommend Nuclead to provide close tolerances & superior service. Our ISO 9001:2015 accreditation, Production Control Systems and Reputation; convinced this OEM to elected us to fabricate these project releases” said Dennis M. Raymondo, Nuclead Co. Inc.’s Chief Operations Manager. “Nuclead has been providing these types of products to many commercial backscatter OEM’s since 1997, just 5 years after its development. We believe we are most capable of providing quality products on budget and delivering them on time…all the time,” he said.
