The lead armored phantom cabinet is a special equipment designed for the safe storage and use of radioactive materials in the field of nuclear medicine and radiation safety. These cabinets are generally used in radiation measurement and calibration processes and have various features.
Features
1. Lead Armor:
o It is coated with thick lead to prevent radioactive sources and substances from spreading to the outside. This reduces the risk of radiation exposure.
2. Durable Structure:
o It is usually made of stainless steel or other durable materials. It is resistant to chemical effects and physical impacts.
3. Ventilation Systems:
o It can be equipped with ventilation systems to ensure indoor air quality and prevent the accumulation of harmful gases (optional)
4. Open and Closed Areas:
o There are compartments inside the cabinet to ensure the safe storage of phantoms (test objects) and other radioactive sources.
5. Security Mechanisms:
o It is equipped with lockable (optional) covers and security systems, thus preventing unauthorized access.
Areas of Use
• Radiation Measurement and Calibration: Phantoms used for the calibration of radiation measurement devices are stored here.
• Nuclear Medicine Laboratories: Safe storage and use of radioactive isotopes.
• Research Institutions: Provides a safe area for radiation-related experiments and research.
Benefits
1. Safety: Reduces the risk of radiation exposure for users and the environment.
2. Environmental Protection: Prevents environmental pollution by preventing the leakage of radioactive materials.
3. Legal Compliance: Helps comply with legal requirements regarding the storage of radioactive materials.
Usage Instructions
1. Training: Users must receive training on the correct use of the cabinet and safety precautions.
2. Regular Checks: Regular checks must be made for the condition of the cabinet and the integrity of the armor.
3. Emergency Procedures: Emergency plans must be created and drills must be conducted against possible accidents.
