Silflex Neutron Shield
Composite shielding effective for gamma and neutron fields is now available for your dry fuel storage campaigns. This high temperature shielding easily withstands the heat generated during forced helium drying which allows shielding to remain in place during the dewatered phase. A special blend of shielding material moderates and attenuates both fast and intermediate neutrons while the outer tungsten layer eliminates primary and secondary gammas. The lightweight design allows access to the weld locations without disturbing the majority of the shield package. 80-95% reductions in exposure rates have been achieved in field in applications.
