ST Shield’s Lead Tank for Transporting Radioactive Materials is a heavy-duty, UN-approved solution engineered to safely transport radioactive substances across short or long distances, adhering to strict international transport regulations (e.g., IAEA SSR-6, ADR, IMDG). Constructed with a multi-layer design—an outer steel shell for impact resistance, a thick lead lining (lead equivalent: 20mm Pb to 100mm Pb) for radiation shielding, and an inner corrosion-resistant liner (stainless steel or polyethylene) to prevent contamination—the tank balances shielding effectiveness with durability. The tank features a robust sealing system, including a lead-lined gasket and a bolted lid with tamper-proof locks, ensuring no radiation leakage or material spillage during transit. To withstand transport vibrations and impacts, the tank is equipped with shock-absorbing feet or a reinforced base that distributes weight evenly, while optional lifting lugs or forklift pockets facilitate loading and unloading. Available in various capacities (10L to 500L), it can be customized to transport liquid, solid, or gaseous radioactive materials—from medical isotopes (e.g., technetium-99m) to industrial radioactive waste. The exterior is labeled with standardized radioactive transport symbols, hazard class markings, and handling instructions, ensuring compliance with global transport requirements. ST Shield’s Lead Transport Tank undergoes rigorous testing, including drop tests, pressure tests, and radiation leakage tests, to obtain UN certification for radioactive material transport. Each tank is accompanied by a detailed certification document verifying its compliance with safety standards. For organizations needing to transport radioactive materials safely and legally, this lead tank is an essential asset—combining rugged construction, reliable shielding, and regulatory compliance to mitigate transport risks.
