The Nuclear industry often requires large radiation shields made primarily from lead. One common method is to pour lead into a steel fabrication. The metal shell protects the lead in a durable casing that holds up better over time. This also ensures that any risk of lead exposure is minimized as the lead is sealed in an outer casing. MarShield is a North American leader in nuclear lead pours and through this blog, we aim to highlight:
Some of the steps we use in producing a high-quality pour
Key considerations when designing a fabrication to be filled with lead for radiation shielding
