METALLIC MODULES AND ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FOR THE FORMATION OF SHIELDED WALLS, FLOOR AND CEILING FOR ROOMS USED FOR RADIOTHERAPY

A modular structure is disclosed that shields people from radiation typically encountered in radiotherapy rooms. The structure can be easily assembled without cracks. Moreover, the structure can be assembled and repaired quickly, without interrupting treatments for long periods of time. The structure is made of two general types of modules. A base module is made up of two cuboids fused along facing long edges and offset, one from the other, both vertically and horizontally. A complementary module is made of a single flatter shaped cuboid. It is designed to fill gaps that appear at the top and bottom of the assembled array of base modules. These modules, as configured, allows several structures to be assembled by quick and simple fitting and horizontal and vertical stacking of the modules. The modules can be manufactured from low cost materials such as metal casing filled with metal powder.
