Whether decommissioning, refurbishing or building a new nuclear power reactor/SMR, NELCO is your trusted partner for designing and installing custom radiation shielding solutions. In nuclear power plant construction, comprehensive shielding is critical to protect workers, the public, and the environment from radiation exposure. Shielding requirements vary based on the components and operational stages of the plant.
Concrete Shielding
By utilizing our Impervius modular block products of various sizes and densities, we can design and install an infrastructure tailored to meet your safety needs. You’ll experience notable time and cost savings, along with minimal construction disruption, as all our modular concrete components are poured, cured, and inspected off-site. Additionally, the modular design facilitates easy de-installation and relocation of the shielding system.
Lead Shielding
We design and build shielding products of any size to meet your safety requirements, utilizing lead bricks, lead sheet metal, and steel.
Borated Polyethylene
NELCO manufactures borated polyethylene and designs composite shielding products to effectively address all types of ionizing radiation.
Decommissioning a plant demands careful planning and tailored shielding to manage residual radiation safely. Shielding needs depend on factors such as radiation type and levels, specific components being decommissioned, and the plant’s design.
NELCO collaborates with you throughout all phases of your project, designing shielding that meets regulatory standards, ensures worker safety, and minimizes environmental impact. As shielding needs evolve during construction or decommissioning, we provide ongoing support and the tools necessary for successful project completion.
With NELCO, you get industrial shielding solutions that combine precision engineering, unrivaled durability, and a commitment to exceeding safety standards.
