Radiation Protection Solutions: Wearable Gamma Radiation Protection and Radiation-Shielded Doors
Introduction
Radiation protection is an important consideration in the design of protective spaces, shelters and specialised facilities. Atmas Group provides radiation protection solutions that include a wearable gamma radiation protection suit and radiation-shielded doors for shelters, medical facilities and industrial environments.
According to the company's published information, these solutions address two distinct applications: wearable protection for people moving towards shelter or evacuating, and shielding integrated into doors for protected rooms and specialised facilities. Atmas Group
The solutions are described on the official Atmas Group website:

Wearable Suit for Radiation Protection
360 Gamma Radiation Shield Suit
Atmas Group presents the 360 Gamma Radiation Shield Suit as a wearable protection system designed to shield users from gamma radiation exposure.
The company identifies its intended use in situations where people need additional protection while travelling to a shelter or evacuating. The suit is presented as an additional layer of protection for individuals in high-risk environments. Atmas Group
According to the published description, the main application areas include:
Movement towards shelter: wearable protection for people travelling to a protected location.
Evacuation: an additional protective layer during evacuation.
High-risk environments: wearable gamma radiation protection for individuals who may encounter radiation exposure risks.
The available product description does not specify a numerical shielding factor, radiation dose reduction, protection duration or suit weight. These characteristics should therefore be confirmed through the relevant technical documentation rather than assumed.
Radiation-Shielded Doors for Shelters and Specialised Facilities
Atmas Group also offers radiation-shielded doors made from steel and incorporating lead plates. According to the company's published description, these doors can be used in shelters, industrial facilities, medical facilities, laboratories and X-ray rooms. Atmas Group
The doors can be designed and decorated according to customer requirements and can include features found in conventional steel or security doors.
Main characteristics
Radiation shielding: doors incorporate lead plates or other specialised protective materials.
Shelter applications: designed for use in shelters and protected spaces.
Medical and industrial applications: suitable for consideration in medical facilities, industrial environments, laboratories and X-ray rooms.
Customisation: appearance and design can be adapted to customer requirements.
Additional features: security, blast protection, fire rating and gastightness may be available as options, depending on the selected door configuration. Atmas Group
The actual shielding requirements depend on the intended application and must be established for the specific project. The published overview does not provide universal lead thicknesses, radiation attenuation values or shielding performance figures for all door configurations.

Radiation Protection in Shelters and Buildings
The two solutions described by Atmas Group address different aspects of radiation protection.
The 360 Gamma Radiation Shield Suit is a wearable solution intended to provide additional protection from gamma radiation exposure. Radiation-shielded doors, by contrast, are building components incorporating lead or other protective materials for use in designated rooms and facilities. Atmas Group
Their roles should therefore be considered separately when planning a radiation protection strategy:
Solution | Primary application | Published characteristics |
360 Gamma Radiation Shield Suit | Personal, wearable protection | Designed to shield users from gamma radiation exposure |
Radiation-shielded doors | Protection of rooms and facilities | Steel doors incorporating lead plates or other protective materials |
Customised radiation protection doors | Shelters, medical and industrial facilities | Design can be adapted to customer requirements |
The information above reflects the applications described by Atmas Group. Specific protection levels should be confirmed for the individual product and installation.
Integration with Other Protective Door Features
Atmas Group's broader door portfolio includes solutions with different combinations of protective features. Depending on the design, doors can incorporate radiation protection alongside security, blast protection, fire resistance or gastightness. These options are not necessarily included in every door and should be confirmed against the selected configuration. Atmas Group
This flexibility allows the door design to be considered in relation to the requirements of the facility, whether it is a shelter, medical environment, laboratory or industrial installation.

Conclusion
Atmas Group's radiation protection portfolio includes a wearable gamma radiation protection suit and radiation-shielded doors for shelters, medical facilities, laboratories and industrial environments.
The 360 Gamma Radiation Shield Suit is presented as a wearable solution for people travelling towards shelter or evacuating. Radiation-shielded doors incorporate lead plates or other protective materials and can be customised to meet project requirements. Atmas Group
The appropriate solution depends on the application, the required protection level and the technical specifications of the selected product. Since the published overview does not provide numerical shielding ratings, these should be requested from Atmas Group for the intended installation.
