Nuclear Engineering and Custom Containment Design

Engineered for Safety, Precision, and Compliance

At Robatel Technologies, engineering is at the heart of everything we do. We specialize in the custom design of nuclear-grade equipment — from hot cells and gloveboxes to certified Type B transport casks — for clients who need safety, reliability, and compliance built into every detail.

Our engineering team brings together decades of nuclear experience, paired with modern CAD tools, simulation software, and design processes that streamline licensing, fabrication, and performance.

What We Design

We support full custom design and engineering of:

• Shielded hot cells for radiopharmaceutical, fuel cycle, or alpha emitter applications

• Gloveboxes for research, fuel fabrication, and waste conditioning

• Type B(U) transport and storage casks for isotopes, sealed sources, and irradiated waste

• Shock absorbers, liners, lifting systems, and biological shielding

• Integrated modular systems for labs, pilot lines, and decommissioning programs
