Patent
·
OSTI ID:5572489
This patent describes a container for transporting a radioactive substance, comprising: reservoir means for holding the radioactive substance including a syringe body having a longitudinal bore and a hollow needle in communication with the bore at one end thereof and having a free end extending coaxially therefrom; plunger rod means slidably disposed in the longitudinal bore of the reservoir means: plug means disposed in the longitudinal bore in sliding sealing engagement with a wall of the bore proximate and detachable secured to one end of the plunger rod means whereby, when the plunger rod means is substantially withdrawn from the longitudinal bore at the end thereof opposite the needle, the plug means sealingly plugging the end of the longitudinal bore opposite the needle; side shield means laterally surrounding the syringe body for blocking radioactivity; coupling means, associated with the side shield means and extending therebelow, for engaging a receiver vessel to which the radioactive substance is to be transferred directly, and for providing radioactivity blocking during transfer of the radioactive substance to the receiver; bottom end shield means removably secured to the side shield means below the syringe body for blocking radioactivity during transport, the bottom end shield means defining a cavity for receiving the hollow needle; and support means for engaging the free end of the hollow needle, and for supporting the needle during transport of the container, the support means being disposed adjacent an end of the cavity opposite the syringe body, and whereby the bottom end shield means is removed for direct transfer of the radioactive substance to the receiver prior to the coupling means engaging the receiver vessel.
