Radiation Shielding Glasses Product Information SCHOTT offers a selection of specifically developed Radiation Shielding Glasses in the density range from 2.5 to 5.2 g/cm3 for applications in nuclear energy production and nuclear waste treatment. Two of these five glass types are doped with Ce02 in order to avoid radiation-induced discoloration The glasses are optimized in terms of high initial transmission, radiation, discharge resistance and different shielding behaviour. Customized radiation shielding windows for all kinds of nuclear installations can be designed covering a wide SCHOTT employs the same production equipment and pro- cesses as used for the production of optical glasses assuring outstanding high quality standards. Glass blocks and plates for radiation shielding windows ■ Nuclear power plants ■ Waste treatment facilities ■ Nuclear research institutes ■ Isotope production facilities Supply Forms Radiation Shielding Glasses are supplied as finished blocks and plates (window faces visual grade polished, lateral faces ground) ready for installation into shielding window frames. ■ Superior internal transmission ■ Outstanding internal quality (bubbles/inclusions/striae) ■ Different shielding behavior allows custom window design ■ Enabling designs with very long service lifetime without failure due to discoloration or electrostatic discharge ■ Improved neutron attenuation in case of shielding windows Linear Attenuation Coefficients of SCHOTT Radiation Shielding Glasses glass made of ideas
