Californium-252 medical source assemblies are fabricated with remotely operated equipment in the Medical Source Facility at the Savannah River Laboratory. All operations from the preparation of the clad wire to the fabrication of implant assemblies are performed with specially designed machines intended for production-type operation. The difficulties in handling objects that are as small as the core wire, 0.015 x 0.160 in., have required the development of new techniques, such as a miniature swager-drawbench, and the use of telephoto TV monitors to observe a capsule-loading operation.
