Radiation Facility Design
Aurora use a range of techniques to assist clients in optimising their radiation facility design. These range from simple calculation methods to complex Monte Carlo radiation transport modelling, depending on the radiation source.

Be Confident in Your Radiation Shielding Design
Our advice can include the applicability of dose constraints and provide recommendations regarding other safety features to complement the installed shielding, ensuring that your facility is secure, your radiation levels acceptable, and your team safe.
We use a range of methods, depending on the radiation source, ranging from simple calculation methods to Monte Carlo radiation transport modelling to assist clients to optimise their facility design. Where required we can also provide evidence regarding material activation. This gives our clients confidence that hidden costs are minimised when considering waste streams, employee and patient safety, and post-build remediation.
The UK’s biggest organisations have used our service to provide radiation facility design for many uses of ionising radiation, including proton beam therapy, linear accelerators, cyclotrons, industrial radiography enclosures, calibration facilities, novel research bunkers and laboratories.
Case Study: Radiation Facility Design
LOR Scotland
Provide a shielded design for two 15MV Clinical Accelerators within a limited foot print. Shield high energy photons and neutrons with a ‘Maze Access’
The project was delivered on time, within budget and to the satisfaction of our client which is testament to Aurora who worked seamlessly as part of the project team. I would happily recommend the services of Aurora.
