Neutron shielding, room design and shielding doors
I am pleased to announce an important new service available to you now!
dha and Radiation Technology Limited have teamed up to provide a cost effective and comprehensive shielding design service for both new and existing radiotherapy Linac bunkers.
Alan Sherwin, CEO of Radiation Technology Limited, is a long-established authority on neutron shielding, and has particular expertise in the design of high-energy Linac facilities. Alan pioneered the use of neutron-absorbent room/maze linings in the early 1980's, and most of the lined Linac mazes in place today were built to, or derived from, his innovative designs. RTL provides detailed practical advice and guidance, based on 3D bunker modelling and Monte-Carlo calculations, accurately predicting the shielding required and it's optimal location. RTL's designs now incorporate its own latest cost-efficient shielding products such as n-Modex neutron moderating granules and BoraTex boron-faced paper for capture of thermal neutrons. New simplified methods have greatly reduced installation costs. dha are providing RTL with sales and marketing support.
dha have already installed shielding doors at both the new Parkside Oncology Centre in Wimbledon and in Cork, Ireland. Manufactured by DIB in Dijon, France, the doors are of very high quality, meeting all European standards, and can be tailored for any linac photon energy, with or without an entrance maze. There are sliding-door variations running on rails or ceiling mounts and swing doors, addressing all possible requirements. These door systems offer great value, are easily serviced, and come with a twenty-year guarantee.
