A Storage and Handling System for Radium and Other Radioactive Sources
Journal Article
·
· British Journal of Radiology
An account is presented of a radium storage and handling system. An important feature is the provision, in a room adjoining the operating theaters, of wellprotected and ventilated radium safes set into the wall behind the working bench, so that the entire stock is always on hand. The dose rate in the middle of this bench when the safe contains 2.5 g of Ra is 6 mr/hour. The system includes the transfer of radium to the theater and the protection of the staff during transport and sterilization of the sources.
