RADIATION SHIELDING
VAULTS & BUNKERS
AVM’s proprietary MatterVault is a turnkey, cost-effective radiation shielding solution that is fully customizable to your business’s needs. Each MatterVault uses our industry-leading MatterDoor, a fabricated radiated shielding door that can be configured to the energy requirements of your facility.
What Is the MatterVault and Who Uses It?
The MatterVault is a contained radiation shielding space designed to protect against your required energy levels, from Kv to Mev. MatterVault systems can be built for any energy level, and are most commonly used in industries such as:
- Non-destructive testing
- Aerospace
- Defense
- Transportation
- Research & development
- Medical device manufacturing
- Nuclear energy

Types of mattervault

concrete MATTERVAULTs
When a high level of radiation shielding is required, our lead brick, polyethylene, concrete block, high-density (HD) block or poured-in-place concrete MatterVault is best. Designed to shield against high-energy sources, this solution provides the most protection.

lead MATTERVAULTs
For medium-energy shielding applications, we can design MatterVaults with leaded substrates, including steel, leaded drywall and plywood, or even leaded brick. Our patented circular MatterVault also works well. Filled with sand, this design is modular, and easy for you to change and modify over time.

FRAMING AND LEAD PLYWOOD MATTERVAULTS
MatterVaults built out of framing and lead plywood are best suited for low-energy shielding. We also offer the modular MatterWall system. Designed for shielding applications that need between 1/32” and 1/4” of lead, MatterWalls can be easily conformed to your existing room.
