Shield WallsMovable Shield Walls
Movable Shield Walls are custom designed shield systems typically constructed of 3″ thick lead encased in stainless steel or painted carbon steel. The track can be any length and can incorporate bends. The upper track can be supported from the floor or appropriate building structure.
The panels use heavy duty guided casters and they are able to be moved manually by one person. Panels can be latched open or closed. Large base plates distribute the floor load.

Custom ShieldingHEPA Filter Cask Shield
This cask shield is part of a special Steam Generator Vacuum System that RPS has manufactured. A steel container houses a compactable and disposable in-line HEPA filter element that collects highly radioactive debris from steam generator internals during maintenance operations.
This cask shield surrounds the filter assembly and greatly reduces the radiation levels in the surrounding area.
This is another example of how RPS specializes in the design and manufacture of shielding solutions for the nuclear industry.

Custom ShieldingSample Sink Shield
This Sample Sink Shield is 1/2″ lead encased in stainless steel with a base plate to spread the floor load. It is a floor to ceiling shield with a heavy duty roller-on-track system for the sliding doors. Each shield wall consists of an upper set of rolling leaded doors that allow access to either the water or gas sample. The lower half of the shield is a series of leaded doors that allow access to the sample heat exchangers, pumps and valves. There are a series of flip-up panels at the top of the doors that show lights indicating which pumps are running. It features easy grasp latches for all hinged doors, optional panel lights if required, optional small Lexan covered openings aligned on indicator lights, and optional remote panels with indicator lights and switches on the personnel side of the shield.

Custom ShieldingTwo Station Frisker Booth
For outdoor use.
The welded, epoxy-coated, carbon steel Two Station Frisker Booth is 6′ 6″ wide x 11′-2″ long x 8′-10″ high at the front. The booth walls and roof can be 1/2″ to 2″ carbon steel. The standard wall and roof thickness is 3/4″ and the floor is 1/2″ thick (other thicknesses available). The roof of the booth is pitched away from the doors and the top surface of the roof is coated with heat reflective paint. Heating and air-conditioning are provided. Fluorescent lights are included as well as an electrical distribution panel.
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.
