The Shape and Future of Modular Shielding

Patent-pending VeriShield™ modular shielding is a groundbreaking system of dry stacked interlocking modules which can be assembled into a tight, leak-free therapy room of any size or shape. The unique curved design of each module provides superior neutron, photon and particle attenuation by a factor of more than two times at the joints. Suitable for any machine energy or therapy, VeriShield is unmatched by other existing shielding materials.

The significant attenuation levels provided by VeriShield greatly reduce the amount of shielding necessary to attain desired protection levels. Compared to traditional concrete construction, VeriShield rooms require less than half the space necessary for concrete vaults, and the modules allow for building therapy facilities within a single floor level. With VeriShield there is no need to penetrate upper floor levels as is necessary with concrete. This results in dramatic space and cost savings, allowing extra space which may have been displaced by the concrete vaults to be utilized for useful purposes.

Attenuation
Superior neutron/photon and particle protection at all energies - by a factor of 2 at the joints.

Density
Two levels: 250 lbs/ft3 (4 g/cm3), and 313 lbs/ft.3 (5 g/cm3).

Interlocking Ridges
Designed for tight, secure construction. Modules easily slide together for fast installation.

Size
Convenient 5” x 5” x 10” (127 x 127 x 254 cm) modules allow for safe, easy handling and reduced per- block install time.

Fractional Modules and Shapes
Half size modules along with a series of complimentary shapes deliver a clean installation

The keystone of every Veritas therapy room, VeriShield™ is the best shielding system available anywhere

Modules are easily transported to the worksite and can be stored indoors or out, as they are unaffected by weather. Their compact size allows for convenient delivery with fast and easy installation without disrupting surrounding services.

The unique combination of attenuation, block design, ease of use and cost benefits make VeriShield™ the best shielding system available for constructing radiation therapy facilities. No other shielding method provides a comparable blend of performance, convenience and affordability.

VeriShield™ construction allows for unmatched flexibility in designing details to accommodate virtually any installation. The VeriShield modules and shapes can be configured to produce the very best in shielding strength and effectiveness.
