T-Flex Pipe and Valve Shields

February 3, 2017

T-Flex is the most versatile shielding material that NPO has to offer. Its ability to be poured as a liquid and cured as a flexible solid makes it ideal for fitting the maximum amount of shielding around a component while keeping space and weight to a minimum. The most common way this is put into […]

Neutron Shielding – Borated Polyethylene

August 31, 2016

Borated Polyethylene (BPE) is one of the primary materials NPO uses for shielding Neutron Radiation. Our standard BPE is 5% Boron by weight. The benefit of adding Boron is that capture by B-10 reduces the dose from secondary gamma production. It primarily captures through (n, alpha), and the alphas are easily re-absorbed in the material. […]

Steam Dryer Flood Up Water Shielding

July 28, 2016

Tungsten T-Flex® was selected as the best material to shield divers during a Steam Dryer repair. Approval for use in flood up water required chemical testing for leachables and heavy metals. The end result was an 8 ft x 5 ft (2.44 m x 1.52 m) shield wall constructed by attaching T-Flex panels to a […]

New Cono Seals Shielding

March 9, 2016

NPO’s new Cono Seals shield package exemplifies another unique and ideal application for T–Flex®. The Cono Seals are a significant dose contributor during reactor head disassembly and, most recently, reactor head cavitation peening in PWR’s. NPO used Tungsten T–Flex to achieve a HVL (half value layer) of shielding from Co–60. Simple Velcro straps are used […]
