NPO
For over 45 years, NPO has specialized in manufacturing a vast array of radiation shielding products. NPO has an extensive portfolio of shielding materials including T-Flex® (constituted from high Z metals such as tungsten and bismuth in a polymer matrix) and lead wool blankets (flexible lead panels). NPO delivers millions of pounds of shielding each year of which roughly 75% is custom built to meet unique challenges. Our team of engineers specialize in designing solutions for the nuclear industry with a focus on ergonomics and quick installation time. New radiation shielding products are developed regularly. They are analyzed using Monte Carlo N-Particle Analysis (MCNP) simulation and tested in our radioactive materials laboratory. At NPO, we are happy to educate on the science behind dose reduction and demonstrate how various shielding materials compare. NPO is ISO:9001:2015 compliant, NIOSH certified, and all manufacturing is performed in the United States of America.
NPO Radiation Shielding
Problem:
Not every area that produces radiation exposure can be effectively reduced by the same shielding material. Temperature constraints, space limitations, radioisotope type, and budget all play a role in choosing the best shielding application to protect personnel.
Technology Solution:
NPO radiation shielding materials product line is the broadest in the industry, truly allowing the ability to offer the best available solution to the ALARA challenges faced by nuclear professionals around the world.
Benefits:
NPO will help reduce radiological exposure in the most effective manner; both economically, ergonomically, and radiologically, by utilizing our vast array of material options and engineering expertise.
