Next to radiation safety, NELCO represents ultimate flexibility. New construction, renovations, upgrades, additions — whatever the specific need, NELCO creates optimal LINAC mazed and mazeless vaults. And as many of our components are modular, our systems are good to go, whether the space is owned or leased.
LINAC vaults are frequently designed in mazed configurations, which allow for a less heavily shielded door system, or space-saving mazeless configurations for a smaller overall footprint in the facility. Our team of experienced engineering professionals will help find the solution that best suits your situation.
And we’ll bend over backward to make it happen. The LINAC vault is used where external-beam radiation treatments are administered to treat all body parts/organs for cancer.

The highest level of safety and security allows you and your patients to experience true confidence and a stronger sense of calm. In high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, a high-energy radiation source is placed immediately adjacent to or directly within the tumor site. Because the radiation is so finely focused, physicians can perform this therapy as a convenient series of short outpatient procedures. Of course, when powerful radiation sources such as Iridium-192 are utilized at doses exceeding 12 Gy/hr-1d, safety is a major concern. So contact NELCO, the world leader in HDR enclosures, and put your mind at ease.
When you don’t have room for multiple treatment areas, you need to determine how to work with what you do have to accomplish it all. Multi-modality rooms often present the greatest shielding challenges because they’re designed to safely for chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery in a single space.
Our expert engineers, designers and technicians have created custom, cost-effective solutions for every shielding need in multi-modality rooms. The more demanding the need, the more obvious your solution: NELCO, the leading provider of radiation shielding worldwide.
NELCO has more than 25 years of experience shielding cyclotron bunkers for medical use, whether it’s in the production of radioactive isotopes or cancer therapy. You won’t find a company with greater experience or knowledge in designing and installing shielding for cyclotrons.
Our experience ranges from developing shielding calculations and reports to installing modular bunkers and plug doors. With NELCO as your shielding partner, your mind will be put at ease knowing that your project will be completed on time, on budget, and with the highest quality in the industry.
At NELCO, we don’t just provide shielding solutions we build peace of mind with unmatched expertise, innovative designs, and a dedication to protecting what matters most.
Because PET systems require a greater amount of shielding, you will want to rely on the impressive track record of NELCO PET installations. A wide variety of medical facilities have put their trust in NELCO to manufacture and install comprehensive PET and PET/CT shielding systems. Specialized experience is essential, as the lead thickness for walls and ceilings can exceed 1″. Heavier door systems require special consideration as well. NELCO can simply ship materials, supervise construction, or provide it all from design through finished construction.

State-of-the-art MRI facilities from NELCO are built with versatility and durability in mind. Wall panels are essential, but there’s much more to superior MRI shielding. To satisfy a range of needs, MRI system specifications, construction requirements, and facility locations, NELCO offers three types of RF shielding; galvanized panel, soldered copper systems, and copper panel systems. Several site options and accessories are provided to complete the shield. After installation, we conduct complete attenuation and ground testing to ensure that all enclosures comply with manufacturing requirements and industry standards. For truly dependable MRI shielding, it takes NELCO.
Versatility: Built for high traffic and high RF attenuation
Customization: Dimensions and thicknesses to meet any design need
Testing: Conduct RF qualification and final acceptance tests as well as ground isolation test
