AI Technical Summary
When existing radioactive pipelines use lead as shielding material, they have the disadvantages of large dosage, being heavy, taking up a lot of space, and having poor mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of nuclear-powered ships and nuclear power, and in particular relates to a tungsten-nickel-based shielding component for a radioactive pipeline. Background Art
[0002] Nuclear-powered vessels and nuclear power plants are plagued by numerous radioactive pipelines, severely impacting the health of operators and maintenance personnel. Currently, lead is the primary shielding material for these pipes. However, this shielding requires a large amount of lead and is also bulky, occupying considerable space and carrying capacity within nuclear-powered vessels and nuclear power plants.
[0003] In addition, lead has poor mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, making it unsuitable for places such as nuclear-powered ships that need to withstand high sea conditions; lead also has considerable biological toxicity and is in the process of being gradually eliminated.
[0004] Tungsten, a high-atomic-number, high-density metallic element, offers excellent shielding against gamma rays, making it a promising new shielding material. Existing processes for processing tungsten include sintering and silicone flexible bonding. However, sintering tungsten-based powders can easily create voids, impacting shielding performance. The amount of tungsten-based powder added to flexible materials is limited, and the adhesive is susceptible to aging, resulting in a short lifespan. Furthermore, existing technologies lack the use of tungsten shielding materials in pipelines; shielding is primarily achieved by forming a single tungsten material. Utility Model Content

The horizontal plate has a circular hole slightly larger than the cylindrical tungsten-nickel-based shield. The cylindrical tungsten-nickel-based shield with a flexible rubber layer is nested in the circular hole of the horizontal plate.
