The Lead bricks will be used in various lead radiation shielding, Lead ballast and other applications.
Cambridge, MA October 30, 2018 – Nuclead a leading manufacturer and distributor of custom and standard lead products for research, industry and consumers announces the delivery of several recent orders for Lead bricks.
Lead Brick can be useful for radiation protection particularly in higher radiation protection requirements. Lead bricks can be used to build a freestanding lead room or to provide additional shielding to an existing space and for temporary / permanent lead shields where maximum flexibility is desired. Lead bricks can be used for lead walls, coves, glove-boxes, hot cells or partitions and the transportation of radioactive materials.
In lead shielding applications interlocking lead bricks are often used as even greater design flexibility and protection from gamma and nuclear radiation due to the tongue and groove design which maximizes the radiation shield integrity, by removing gaps, and allows for easier stacking.
Other applications for lead bricks include lead ballast on ships and for racing weights.
