Reactor Vessel ShieldingReactor Vessel Under-Head Shield
The Reactor Vessel Under-Head Shield is designed to reduce radiation exposure from the underside of the reactor vessel head while on the head stand. It is positioned before the head is placed on the stand and extends up into the cavity of the head. The shield consists of nine support frame sections which will support up to three layers of Lead Wool Blankets. The shield support structure includes an extending shield plate the top of the support frame that is retracted and latched until the head is on the stand. It is then moved outward into close proximity of the head. The extending shield has a series of bumper pads to protect the head. This reduces exposure during work evolutions close to the head such as O-ring maintenance.

Reactor Vessel ShieldingReactor Vessel Head Stand Shield Ring
The Reactor Vessel Head Stand Shield Ring offers simplified erection and is used outside the Reactor Head Flange. Featuring epoxy coated steel plate construction, it can be sized to suit specific reactor vessel head diameter. The standard unit is constructed of 4” plate, with other thicknesses available. The ring provides for the use of interchangeable components as well as providing access for robots and personnel through three shielded doors. Ventilation ports are also provided for engineering controls. A lockable latch at the access point door creates a locked high rad area. A base plate is provided to distribute the load, and lifting provisions are provided for the overhead crane.

Shield WallsShield Walls
Shield Walls are 1/4″ to 3″ thick, 1′ wide and 6′- 12′ tall and feature epoxy painted lead encased in carbon steel. Sliding, hinged and/or rolling doors are available as well as pass through ports, bracing and stand-offs. The walls have base plates for load distribution.

Shield WallsModular Shield Walls
Modular Shield Walls are up to 12′ high with panels 12′ wide. They are 1/4″ to 1″ lead panels encased in painted carbon steel with a streaming stop at each joint and built-in corner erection angles. A base plate is provided to distribute the floor load. Bracing is provided at the top to stiffen the wall. Optional doors are available as well as an optional panel handling cart to ease assembly without overhead lifting devices.
Broad experience has made RPS the leader in ionizing radiation shielding services. Once dedicated to the nuclear division of the U.S. Navy, we began over 35 years of service to commercial utilities as an emergency response team called to Three Mile Island.
Our engineering staff has more than 100 man years of experience in custom design of shielding through the application of lead, steel, water, borated plastics and other materials.
The provided links below outline some of our recent projects and show why, after more than 35 years, RPS remains the leader in shielding applications.
