| Nuclear research establishments
use nuclear reactors or cyclotrons to study or create
radioactive materials. Wolfmet tungsten alloy is used
in research activities as collimators (devices which
guide or focus beams of radiation) or containers for
radioactive isotopes. Wolfmet tungsten alloy is ideal
for shielding against both X- and Gamma radiation. The
very high density of Wolfmet tungsten shielding (more
than 60% denser than lead) allows a reduction in the
physical size of shielding components, without compromising
the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics.
