JCS offers an extensive selection of radiation shielding for neutron, gamma and X-ray fields. These materials can be supplied in sheets, rods, pellets, flexible sheets, field castable kits and even pre-moulded to your specifications (where relevant). We are also able to offer a machining service for appropriate materials.
JCS is pleased to announce a new low-cost range of engineering-grade neutron shielding including pure and boron loaded polyethylene. With standard sizes up to 6m x 2m x 100mm and total elemental boron loading of 5%. Our new sheets are easily machined and cost-effective for all neutron shielding applications.
