More Security, More Safety for Customers When seeking radiation shielding effect from building materials,
it is necessary to judge comprehensively the loading size, strength, cost, etc.
"RASHIX" can be produced based on each customer's needs aside from its original size.
By layering ceramics that are easy-to-handle in all sizes, it is superior in workability,
can accomplish short construction periods, and reduce work involving dust.
It is composed of materials that are friendly to the human body as well as the environment,
and it can also be used when you need to change the layout inside the facility.
We also provide high quality and stable products by pre-casting products at our factory.

Protect the lives of families and children from the danger of radiation.

Characteristics of “RASHIX”

● Excellent workability, versatile in size and design is possible
● Contains no harmful substances
● Excellent heat resistance
It is fired at a high temperature of 1300°C.
●Excellent abrasion resistance
"RASHIX" which is a ceramic fired at high-temperature and for a long-time with no age deterioration.

Main Specifications (Standard Block Specification) and Transmittance

We can manufacture in any size according to the application.
*It has been verified through various experiments that it is effective as a radiation shielding material.

Make Safety and Security “Your Matter” with RASHIX

  • Shielding material for new construction of nuclear shelters and evacuation areas
  • For building materials such as wall and flooring materials when new buildings and living spaces are built
  • Replacing existing walls, doors and ceilings of buildings
  • For disaster prevention offices in businesses and organizations
  • For a new home as a nuclear shelter
  • For improvement to your nuclear shelter room

Development of nuclear shelter using "RASHIX"

When RASHIX is used as an outer wall ...

  • Can be installed above the ground
  • Protect against blasts and flying objects
  • Protect concrete from aging
  • Will not burn, and is heat resistant
  • Can be designed freely
  • Can be reinforced in existing buildings

Ground-Type Nuclear Shelter Not only radioactive substances, but also the following disasters

CBRNE Disasters
C: Chemical, B: Biological, R: Radiological, N: Nuclear, and E: Explosive materials.

The Role of Nuclear Shelter

● Prevent physical destruction by blast and heat
● To ensure air that is not contaminated with radiation
● Surviving within the shelter for a certain period of time


Nuclear weapons have the risk of radiation exposure due to scattered radioactive materials.
However, with the decay of short-lived nuclides, the radiation dose is attenuated, and it is said that people will be able to go outside for a short period of time if it decreases to about 1/1000.
That process takes about 2 weeks to complete. It is also necessary to prepare for that period to survive without leaving the shelter.

Example of Construction

1) Ehime Prefecture Nishiuwa District / Itaka Government Nuclear Disaster Countermeasure Facility
When Ikata Nuclear Power Plant Unit 3 is restarted, as a disaster countermeasure;
● We made panel-like partitions on the windows for Ikata Town facility. And for the event of an emergency, we built it so that it can close the windows along with the partitions. Photo and construction date.
● We carried out countermeasure construction at an elementary school that is closed as a primary evacuation facility on a detached island in Uwajima-City.

The only power plant in Shikoku, Ikata Nuclear Power Plant Units 1-3, stopped its operation one unit after another with a regular inspection after the Great East Japan earthquake.
In August 2016, Unit 3 (Ikata-City, Ehime Prefecture, output: 890,000 kilowatts) passed the new strict regulatory standard formulated based on the accident from Tokyo Electric Power's Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant. The Ikata Unit 3 took used nuclear fuel, reprocessed it using mixed uranium and plutonium oxide fuel, and generated plu-thermal power.
In October 2017, due to periodic inspection, power generation was stopped. The Hiroshima High Court decided to suspend operations in December 2017 and is currently suspended.
