Table Top Shield

Description

For Beta and Gamma Radiation

When handling beta and gamma radioactive materials with mid- to low-energy, this tabletop shield offers safety. The shield is built with shielding overlap to stop radiation streaming and tipping resistance. One continuous piece of steel makes up the complete interior work surface, which has a built-in splash tray with a lip for quick, confined cleanup.
The front wall of the shield is constructed of .5″ (1.2 cm) thick lead and completely encased with powder-coated steel. A lead glass window (2 mm LE) and a Plexiglas® panel are included. This shielding combination attenuates gamma and beta radiation, and errant bremsstrahlung, with unimpaired viewing of the work area. An optional 2 mm LE lead glass window is available to achieve 4.0 mm lead equivalency.

Optional side and bottom shields offer additional protection. Manufactured to be durable, the Beta/Gamma Tabletop Shield is framed in steel with a powder-coat finish.
