Description of Nuclear Medicine Radiation Protection Tungsten Box

Tungsten alloy shielding materials are more and more widely used in the field of radiation protection than traditional lead materials. This is due to its high density, high material utilization, excellent radiation shielding effect, and environmental protection. The Nuclear Medicine Radiation Protection Tungsten Box is made of high-quality tungsten alloy material and is mainly used to transport radioactive isotopes for examination or experiments to departments in need. Its size, lead equivalent, and surface coating can be customized. The Nuclear Medicine Radiation Protection Tungsten Box is equipped with two locking opening and closing buckles and fixed handles to ensure stability, sealing, and safety during transportation. The Nuclear Medicine Radiation Protection Tungsten Box is often used in the fields of nuclear medicine treatment, industrial radioactivity, biological science experiments, and other places full of radioactive rays.

Features of Nuclear Medicine Radiation Protection Tungsten Box

1 High-density shielding: The construction consists of 90% W-Ni-Fe alloy, achieving a density between 17 and 18.5 g/cm³. With 5 mm of material, incident 140 keV gamma rays receive attenuation comparable to 5 mm of lead, resulting in a 99% drop in dose rate.  

2 Non-toxic and environmentally friendly: The formulation omits lead, dust, and any volatile, troublesome contaminants, enabling direct installation in cleanroom suites without risk. Disposal presents no hazards, and after-use recycling is straightforward.  

3 Compact structure: Each enclosure is cut on a CNC mill to deliver constant wall thickness. Between the main enclosure and the hinged lid, a choice of labyrinth interlock or an elastomer O-ring provides an absolute barrier, preventing the escape of any unattenuated rays.  

4 Lightweight and portable: The shielding package weighs 25 to 35% less than a comparable lead box that delivers identical dose reduction. An ergonomically shaped stainless steel carry handle or a rapid-release buckle enables secure, one-handed lid operation.

Applications of Nuclear Medicine Radiation Protection Tungsten Box

Nuclear Medicine Department: Temporary storage, transportation, and bedside packaging of vials of radioactive isotopes such as Tc-99m, I-131, Ga-68, and Lu-177.

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Center: Transport boxes from the hot room to the injection room after 18F-FDG production, as well as temporary storage and recovery of unused drugs.

Radiotherapy: On-site storage and post-operative temporary storage of I-125 seed sources, Sr-90 patch sources, and Co-60 sources.

Mobile Healthcare: Serving as portable source containers to meet regulatory transportation requirements for vehicle-mounted PET, intraoperative radiotherapy, and field nuclear emergencies.
