L Block Shield and Cave

The Phillips Safety L-Block Nuclear Shield and Cave provides dependable radiation protection for nuclear medicine, isotope handling, and radiopharmacy workstations. Engineered with precision, this shield offers the ideal balance between protection, visibility, and mobility for laboratory environments handling low- to medium-activity radionuclides. Reliable Radiation Shielding Built with 10 mm or 20 mm Pb-equivalent protection, this L-shaped shield effectively attenuates gamma and x-ray radiation. The integrated front and top panels form a protective cave that safeguards operators from both direct and scatter radiation during isotope dose preparation and manipulation tasks. Stainless-Steel Wrapped Construction The entire unit is fully enclosed in stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting durability and easy cleaning. Its smooth, non-porous finish resists corrosion and contamination, making it suitable for sterile or high-radiation environments found in modern hot labs and nuclear medicine departments. Observation Window A lead-glass viewing window (approximately 12″ × 9″) provides clear visibility into the working area while maintaining the equivalent protection. The window is positioned at a 135° viewing angle to reduce glare and allow comfortable observation during procedures. Compact and Functional Design Based on the engineering drawing: 10mm Pb: Overall depth: 17.1 inches Overall height: 15.4 inches Overall width: 16.2 inches Viewing angle: 135° (front-to-top) Observation window height: 5.9 inches above base 20mm Pb: Overall depth: 17.5 inches Overall height: 15.4 inches Overall width: 17 inches Viewing angle: 135° (front-to-top) Observation window height: 5.9 inches above base This space-efficient design provides excellent protection without taking up excessive bench space, making it ideal for compact workstations.
