Safety critical radiation shielding
In recent years, the importance of energy security has been highlighted which has lead to the UK Government committing to the future of Nuclear power in the UK and the construction of new nuclear power plants, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
The world also has many aging nuclear power stations which must be safely decommissioned, which is a painstaking process to ensure radioactive materials are safely removed and placed into a reliable, long-term storage solution.
Throughout the UK’s nuclear enterprise there is an ongoing demand for safety critical shielding components and products, and Calder Industrial Materials is a leader in the field of lead nuclear shielding solutions for both decommissioning and new-build.
We have the resources, experience, and technical expertise to develop and manufacture an array of standard and custom lead nuclear radiation shielding solutions, and work closely with our customers to ensure we can deliver the right solutions for the application in the most cost-effective way.
We’ve been working with Calder Lead for several years, and their commitment to quality and reliability has consistently exceeded our expectations.
Their products arrive on time, exactly as promised, and the level of customer service they provide is truly outstanding.
