VF NUCLEAR - Radiation Shielded Semi-Hot Cell for Sealed Radioactive Source Handling
The Semi-hot Cell represents a complex workplace for treating solid or liquid radioactive emitters and provides personnel with maximum radiation protection. The actual model can be adapted to the particular needs of the user.
The Semi-hot Cell is designed for working safely with radioactive materials; it permits work with both solid and liquid radioactive emitters.
The shielding is designed with respect to the presumable activity of emitters which will be the subject of work in the chamber. The lead layer thickness is typically up to 100 mm. (Thicker shielding is usually installed for hot chambers).
The particular spatial arrangement and equipment of the chamber is implemented in accordance with the customer`s requirements and (with customer cooperation) is designed in detail within the project. Multiple-chamber disposition can be added if useful, to allow concurrent work at several adjacent work stations.
The Semi-hot Cell is equipped with aids and tools, depending on the purpose, within the project, and with respect to safety and relative comfort during routine work. Usually, such specialized handling devices, monitoring and safety features, distribution systems of technical gases and liquids, laboratory instruments, etc. are included.
