Guaranteed 100% Modular Radiation Shielding Protection
Advanced composition chemistry. Modular Radiation Shielding. Patented sine-wave mating shape. Lead-Free and alternative to lead shielding. Better than the traditional high-density shielded block.
Together, they give VeriShield® modules unmatched attenuation properties and construction benefits whether you build a linear accelerator vault for medical shielding solutions or a non-destructive x-ray testing vault for NDT inspections.
Shielding Effectiveness—100% Guaranteed
VeriShield® modules provide an exceptional value proposition by combining cutting-edge radiation shielding technology with a lead-free approach and an alternative to a poured concrete solution compared to other shielding blocks. Manufactured in a controlled factory environment, these modules incorporate high Z aggregates for effective photon attenuation and neutron-attenuating materials. By eliminating the use of lead, VeriShield modules ensure the safety of both users and the environment. Furthermore, the meticulous design of fully lapping and alternating seams between modules prevents straight-line paths for radiation streaming, offering a guarantee of 100% radiation shielding effectiveness. Choosing VeriShield modules means investing in a solution that delivers unparalleled radiation protection and aligns with sustainable and responsible manufacturing practices. With their lead-free composition and unmatched shielding capabilities, VeriShield modules provide a compelling value proposition that prioritizes safety, environmental consciousness, speed, space savings, and long-term peace of mind.
Flexibility to Meet Requirements Now—and Future Reusability
Veritas VeriShield’s patented interlocking system is the key to creating a radiation leak-free therapy room that can meet practically any design requirements. By combining individual elements or modules into a composite structure, we can achieve all the benefits of mass-concrete vaults in half the space and time. Plus, the modular design, makes our system not only environmentally friendly but also de-commissionable and reusable.
Modules are Easier to Work With
Compact Design
Standard size modules are 5″ x 5″ x I0″ (127mm x 127mm x 254mm).
Ergonomically designed to comply with European safe lifting limit of 22 kg.
Allows for easy handling during installation, increases worker safety, and reduces per-module installation time.
Fractional Modules
- Fractional VeriShield® HT
- Half modules allow layers to be staggered – providing increased structural strength.
- Modules firmly lock into a solid structure.
Compressive Strength
- Our VeriShield modular shielding blocks is guaranteed to meet the 2,800 psi minimum, typically withstanding 5,000 psi or more depending on density; this product easily surpasses this criterion.
- The VeriShield Grout materials have less compressive strength as the water content is increased for working properties. The final compressive strength will vary based on product density.
Attenuation Benefits
Lock Out Radiation with Sine-Wave Interlock
Unlike angular-shaped shielding modules with straight-line seams that allow radiation to pass through, VeriShield® modules feature a unique and patented sine-wave module mating shape. The result is 100% radiation shielding effectiveness throughout the shielding structure, providing a solid, radiation leak-free barrier.
Sawtooth Module Design: 35% Less Effective
Approx. 2” of shielding thickness per tooth at the straight-line seam reduces the effectiveness of a 6” module thickness to the same as that of a 4” module.
Over 35% less effective in preventing radiation streaming at the seam.
VeriShield® Sine-Wave Design: 0% Radiation Streaming
All neutron/photon and particle protection.
Unique layered designs for proton applications.
Provides 100% guaranteed attenuation.
