American Ceramic Technology has changed the way people look at radiation shielding. Our innovative technology allows nuclear power plants, laboratories and naval reactors to provide a safer, cleaner and more efficient work environment. We look forward to working with you.
Testimonials
We've adopted the use of Silflex tungsten
shielding for select areas. The use of tungsten shielding and bismuth shielding vs lead blankets reduced our recent weld overlay dose by about 4 rem. Using tungsten shielding significantly reduced dose rates on our cavity drain line and eliminated a locked high radiation area condition seen in previous outages when lead blankets were used.
- Rob, Farley NP
The installation of our modification was tedious and unlike any other lead shielding installation people are familiar with because of the sensitivity of the components. Any inadvertent bumping of the level switches could place the plant at risk. In all, the Silflex tungsten shielding will reduce area dose rates by about 50 percent which will lead to a significant increase in uptime.
- Joe, Fermi NGS
The tiles have arrived and so far we’re very impressed with it, crazy how magnetic it is.
- Scott, CNL
The Silflex lead blanket replacements worked great! They fit perfectly in the tight space and were used throughout the process except for actually installing the clamps. We saved 1.5 Rem during MSIP having the shielding.
