May 9, 2025
I. Application Scenarios & Solutions
-
Radioactive Material Storage & Processing
-
Negative Pressure Modular Cleanrooms:
-
Maintain ISO Class 4-5 air quality with HEPA/ULPA filtration (99.999% efficiency for ≥0.3μm particles).
-
Leak-tight welded structures with lead-lined walls for radiation shielding.
-
-
Biosafety Pass Boxes with Airlocks:
-
Enable safe transfer of radioactive samples using dual-door interlock systems and integrated decay chambers.
-
-
-
Waste Treatment Zones
-
Robotic Handling Cleanrooms:
-
FFU-supported laminar airflow to suppress airborne particulates during vitrification or compaction of nuclear waste.
-
-
-
High-pressure HEPA-filtered airflow to remove radioactive dust from personnel and equipment exiting hot zones.
-
-
-
Fuel Rod Fabrication
-
Inert Gas Cleanrooms:
-
Modular cleanrooms filled with argon/nitrogen to prevent oxidation, coupled with FFUs for particulate control during cladding.
-
-
-
Emergency Response & Maintenance
-
Mobile Containment Units:
-
Rapid-deploy modular cleanrooms with integrated air filtration for on-site repairs in contaminated areas.
-
-
II. Core Technologies & Compliance
-
Radiation-Resistant Materials:
Stainless steel cleanrooms with lead/borated polyethylene shielding (up to 5 Sv/h attenuation). -
Multi-Stage Filtration:
Pre-filters + HEPA + activated carbon filters to capture radioactive iodine and particulates. -
Real-Time Monitoring:
Integrated radiation sensors, pressure differential alarms, and particulate counters linked to SCADA systems. -
Certifications:
Meet IAEA GS-R-3, ISO 17873 (nuclear facility ventilation), and 10 CFR Part 20 standards.
