Designed for receiving and preparing unit
doses of high-energy radionuclides, these L-Blocks provide 1.5-inch thick
lead shielding in front, and 1-inch thick lead in the base. The L-Block may
be ordered with either an 8" x 4" x 4" or 8"x 8" x 4" lead glass window. A
special plate with a hex-shaped recess is mounted on the base to facilitate
one-handed loading and unloading of dose pigs incorporating hex-shaped
bottoms (see optional/related items). The optional Lead Brick Cave (042-425)
may be added to provide lateral shielding around the full perimeter of the
L-Block’s base. These L-Blocks are shipped in modular form for easy
installation without lifting equipment. No component weighs more than 50
pounds. After placing the base frame in its location, pre-cut lead sheets
are loaded into the horizontal and vertical portions of the steel frame. The
window module is mounted, and assembly is completed by securing window unit
and steel end cap with four Phillips head screws. A Phillips screwdriver is
the only tool needed. Assembly instructions are provided.
