Q. Why does the Radiation Shielding Design Report only specify shielding to 2100mm/2400mm height?
A. Radiation shielding is only provided to protect occupied areas. Shielding to these heights is generally sufficient to protect those in adjacent areas. In most cases, the concrete floor or ceiling slab is sufficient to protect occupants of areas above or below the room where radiation is to be used.
It is important that this is specified by a professional Radiation shielding consultant. For more information contact RSG on (02) 9838 9591 or Email Us
Q. Does my facility require Radiation Shielding?
A. Almost all facilities where radiation producing apparatus are to be used will require a radiation shielding design. Even if a facility may not require any radiation shielding, a radiation shielding design by an appropriately qualified person should be completed to determine this.
If you are unsure whether or not a radiation shielding design is required, please contact RSG on

Q. Why does my Radiation Shielding Design specify Concrete/Steel/Plasterboard etc?
A. Lead is not the only suitable radiation shielding material. A variety of options are available. For some facilities, steel or concrete may be more suitable options. In some facilities where low energy radiation is utilised, plasterboard in the walls may be provide sufficient protection.
Q. Do you install the materials you supply?
A. With exception to our Neutron door systems, No. All our materials are designed to be easily installed by any builder/partitioner. Instructions are provided.
