Shielding Containers

Shieldings for Point Sources Encapsulated radioactive sources are used for industrial applications. The radioactive substance is contained in a tightly sealed stainless steel Source Capsule, sometimes with several walls. The Source Capsule is mounted in a shielding Housing using a Source Holder. This shielding must meet several criteria: • The radiation must be shielded to a safe level for the operating • The radiation outlet channel must be lockable for transport and during • The source capsule must be protec- ted from both mechanical damage and from environmental influences.
