Every month at Nuclead we ship a large variety of lead-based products such as X-ray shielding, Lead Counterweights, Antimony Lead, Lead Blocks.
Here are some of the items we shipped recently to customers around the USA.
Some of these shipments required significant fabrication activities, some just need to be cut to size or simply picked from our large in-stock inventory of lead products and some require valued added engineering services
