Abstract

A radiation shielding overlay for a portion of a valve controller or a valve assembly. The radiation shielding overlay includes a layer including a base material and a second material infused within the base material. The base material has a first density and the second material has a second density higher than the first density, increasing a density of the layer. The layer is adapted to be disposed over a surface of a housing of a valve controller or a valve assembly, such that the layer blocks radiation from reaching a component disposed within the housing.
