THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A LEAD SHIELDED CUBICLE FOR THE ANALYSIS OF / cap beta/$gamma$ ACTIVE MATERIALS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4170137
The modifications to four semi-shielded fume cupboards and a centrifuge alcove for the analysis of beta gamma active materials in a laboratory are described. Three fume cupboards are used as the working area on highly active (up to 5 Mev curies) samples. One fume cupboard fitted with a sliding access door is also used as a decontamination bay. The alcove is used for unloading samples from shielded transport containers and for transferring samples to a balance box by means of a light railway. A shielded box was constructed containing a balance pan, the rest of the balance being unshielded for ease of access and maintenance. An electrically driven crane fitted with a manual lift was in corporated into the design so that sources, apparatus and reagents can be taken in and out of the working area. The apparatus necessary to carry out a number of standard analytical techniques is also described. (auth)
