Safety system for the shielding of radiation sources

Description

For rapid shielding of radiation sources lightweight vessels are used. They can be moved to the point of use from a central control point. Depending on the type of radiation, they are then filled with the shielding material, such as lead as a granulate and/or as spheres. Filling is done from outside the point of defect by means of a conveyor belt or a crane. For better stability the vessels may have tongued and grooved joints. (DG/RF)
