Protection against gamma and neutron radiation
Maximum. Radiation safe.
ensolma radiation protection doors comply with DIN 6834-1:2012. We use different radiation protection materials depending on the radiation conditions on site. These are in particular steel, lead sheet, lead brick, high density polyethylene (HDPE with a boron mass content of 0% to 9%), aluminum and concrete.
For the production of very heavy industrial radiation shielding doors (50 tons and more), we use the concrete produced according to a special formula.
For radiation protection of the gap between the floor and the bottom of the door leaf, depending on the type and weight of the door leaf, we offer a unique automatic lifting threshold of radiation protection or our automatic folding floor ensolma (only for sliding doors), which provides safe passage at any time when the door leaf is moving.
Radiation protection materials are laid in several layers. The radiation protection elements in each layer fit tightly together without overlapping. But all connecting lines are overlapped by monolithic materials of the next layer. This technology does not contradict IAEA requirements. We comply with all international standards for radiation protection and thus provide full radiation protection. We call it ensolma perfect - a radio-hermetic seal that is equally available for our sliding and swing doors.
Depending on the radiation environment and radiation quality, we use different radiation protection materials, which can be combined with each other depending on the requirements.
Protection against X-ray and gamma radiation is achieved through the use of heavy materials such as Fe, Pb, W, U. The best of them for civilian use is lead. Among building materials, heavy concrete brings the best results.
Protection against neutron radiation is usually achieved by using polyethylene (for example HDPE), borided polyethylene, which splits the neutron radiation into gamma rays, which are then neutralized by additional lead layers.
Each project is individual. Therefore, the protective materials used and their combinations are adapted to the individual case.
Effective protection against different radiation
Depending on the radiation environment and radiation quality, we use different radiation protection materials, which can be combined with each other depending on the requirements.
Protection against X-ray radiation is usually achieved by lead inlays.
Protection against gamma radiation is usually achieved by lead inserts and the use of special concrete.
Protection against neutron radiation is usually achieved by using borided polyethylene (HDPE), which splits the neutron radiation into gamma rays, which are then neutralized by additional lead layers or concrete.
Each project is individual. Therefore, the protective materials used and their combinations are adapted to the individual case.
For particularly high radiation protection requirements
In more special radiation environments, we use heavy doors filled with special concrete to reliably neutralize neutron radiation and gamma rays.
