Looking for new quality productivity, the "Sichuan News Network" on April 10 paid attention to the transformation and industrialization of the innovative achievements of the enterprise located in Mianyang Youxian - Maike Nuclear Shield. The high-temperature neutron shielding and absorbing materials they produce will put on the "armor" of the Lianjiang Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong Province and build a nuclear safety barrier. Not only that, in the fields of radiation medicine and nuclear medicine, Maike nuclear shield also has radiation protection "armor" on the shelves!
Anyone who has had CT or interventional surgery knows that both patients and doctors need to wear lead clothing to effectively block radiation, but it is really bulky, and the biological toxicity of lead is not friendly to the environment. The emergence of radiation protection "armor" can be done in one step, while achieving lead-free, it can also cope with the radiation generated by different rays such as α, β, γ, neutrons, and X.
The reason why the radiation protection "armor" is so powerful is inseparable from a special protective material. Yang Xuemei, deputy general manager of Sichuan Maike Nuclear Shield New Material Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters that the protective clothing produced by the company contains flexible lead-free polymer, which can reduce the weight by 30% on the basis of traditional radiation protective clothing and control it within 6 kilograms, thereby greatly reducing the physical burden of the wearer.
It is understood that this set of radiation protection "suits" with completely independent intellectual property rights, which can integrate neutron, γ and X-ray resistance at the same time, and can withstand high temperatures of 200 °C, will officially enter the market in the second half of this year.
High-performance, lead-free, environmentally friendly, lightweight, the development of radiation shielding materials is constantly upgrading, "heavy lead clothing" may soon be with us "goodbye", and such materials will also be in the fire rescue, customs, national defense, nuclear industry and many other fields "show their talents", it is worth waiting and seeing.
