BARIBLOCK®15 barytic blocks were used to shield ionising radiation from the waste collection room of the Nuclear Medicine and Metabolic Radiotherapy Department of the Ospedale dell'Angelo in Mestre, Italy.
Bariblock® for the shielding of an X-ray tube for non-destructive radiographic testing
Bariblock® barytic concrete, thanks to its reduced thickness ensured by its high density (ρ=3,300 kg/m³), was chosen by an important company in the petrochemical sector to shield a 300 kV X-ray tube, used to perform non-destructive radiographic testing, at its plant in Cagliari, Italy.
Latest Bariblock® International Research Results Available
The results of recent international research on the Bariblock® barytic block have been published on the European Physical Journal Plus of the Springer Nature group. The tests concern the macroscopic cross section of neutrons in baryte concrete in the energy range between 1 meV and 1 keV.
