Radiation shielding is a crucial aspect of safety across multiple industries, from nuclear power plants to facilities handling medical isotopes or research laboratories. NSI provides comprehensive radiation protection and shielding services, combining advanced analysis, design, and verification to ensure regulatory compliance and safety for personnel, the public, equipment, and the environment.
CUSTOM SHIELDING DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION
Our shielding solutions are tailored to meet the different requirements of each application. Starting with in-depth source characterization, we analyze radiation types (neutron, gamma, beta), their energies, intensities, and pathways. Using high-precision modelling, we design efficient shielding solutions considering operational constraints and regulatory requirements. Key capabilities include:
- Source Characterization and Dose Assessment
Accurate analysis of radiation sources and exposure pathways, assessing doses for both personnel and public spaces. - Shielding Material Selection and Configuration
Selecting materials and configurations that maximize radiation attenuation while balancing cost, space, and structural considerations. - Validation of Shielding Effectiveness
Ensuring that shielding designs meet all operational and regulatory safety requirements across potential scenarios, from routine operations to unexpected incidents.
To achieve precise radiation and shielding analyses, NSI leverages MCNP, a Monte Carlo-based code for neutron, photon, and electron transport, which is ideal for rigorous shielding assessments in high-radiation environments.
ENSURING RADIATION SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
NSI’s radiation and shielding team brings deep expertise in designing and verifying solutions across applications. Our approach is grounded in regulatory standards, ensuring each shielding design offers robust protection for people and the environment. We support our clients throughout the design, implementation, and regulatory compliance phases, providing safety and peace of mind for complex radiation applications.
