RE: Alternatives to lead blankets

[Jerald_L_Eby@RL.GOV]

Dave,

There are a couple of suppliers in the U.S. that have used tungsten in their

blankets to rid the hazardous material (lead) and mixed waste issues.  1.

Innovative Industrial Solutions at 479-890-9072 (www.i-i-s.net ) and 2.

Ecomass (polyone)at 877-326-6277 (www.ecomass.com ) have tungsten products.

I have been asked to gather data on non-hazardous alternatives to lead

blankets for gamma shielding.  Any input will be appreciated.  



Thanks ahead of time.
