Detailed explanation-1: -To shield containers that store radioactive materials, metallic lead is typically used.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lead storage containers for radioactive material, known in the industry as ‘Pigs’, The container is a solid cast lead fabricated for nuclear material containment. Safely store your uranium ore, radioactive Isotopes, and other radioactive samples. The wall thickness is 1/2” of solid Lead metal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lead storage containers can be used to store and transport radioactive material. The standard outside and inside finishing is coated lead so there is no exposure to the lead by personnel. A stainless steel finishing is also available to provide a stronger housing.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lead is not radioactive, and so does not spontaneously decay into lighter elements. Radioactive elements heavier than lead undergo a series of decays, each time changing from a heavier element to a lighter or more stable one.
