| Radiation Shielding Windows |
|
Window assemblies composed of one or several glass slabs of various densities, encased in a steel or cast iron housing and weighing up to 12 tons.
Window is usually inserted into a steel or cast iron wall liner, embedded into the wall. Viewing area can be up to 1.5m x 1.2m (5 feet by 4 feet) with an overall thickness of up to 1.5m (5 feet).
Windows can be supplied oil-filled, "dry" with anti-reflective surface treatments on glass surfaces or bonded with glass elements cemented together. Shielding solutions for alpha, beta, gamma and neutron sources.

- Lead glass (gamma shielding)
- Laminated safety glass (containment)
- Acrylic (neutron shielding)
- Float (chemical resistance)
- Tempered (impact resistance)
- Lead Acrylic (gamma & neutron)

Glass blocks polished and cut to size, to be installed in the steel or lead wall of a hot cell or shield. According to requirements, the blocks can be borosilicate (specific density 2.5) or lead glass up to a density of 5.2.
Glass can be supplied stabilized, non-browning, for high radiation doses.

Borosilicate glass plates, retained by a stainless steel frame, gasketed to the wall liner or hot side of the window.
This can be an essential part of a window, providing cell containment and protection against mechanical damage.
