Nuclear Power Outfitters (NPO) - Division of Eichrom Technologies products

NPO’s lead blankets are flexible and are manufactured in a multitude of sizes, shapes and weights for effective shielding around components. Standard containers are able to be rigged, moved by fork truck, are weather tight, and feature removable lids and side panels for easy loading and unloading. Project specific shielding such as dry cask or steam generator sludge lancing blankets available upon request.

Light Duty racks are an easier to deploy, much lighter weight shielding rack. Each aluminum rack weighs only 45 lb, making it light enough to carry by hand and quick to set up. While the frame is aluminum to keep the weigh down, the hooks are carbon steel and are able to handle the wear and tear of repeated shielding blanket install and uninstall.

Custom fit to any plant’s steam generators, these magnetically secured lead wool panels provide shielding between the worker and the side of the steam generator. The magnetism of these blankets allow for quick installation on any carbon steel surface while offering a significant dose reduction.

The composite bell shield provides gamma and neutron shielding during dry cask operations. The cylinder provides shielding around the transfer cask and above the work platform. Typically, atop the cylinder is a 6” tall and 6” thick ring that reduces shine from the canister lid and annulus gap areas. The bell shield is supported by sitting atop the transfer cask, and can be manufactured for use with any dry cask system. The amount of borated polyethylene, steel, and/or lead can be designed to each site’s individual needs.
