  • Application Filed: October 22, 1979
  • Assignees: Byk-Mallinckrodt CIL B.V. (NLX)
  • Claim: I claim
  • Claim: 1. A shielding apparatus for a radioisotope producing generator where radioisotope containing solution is produced, comprising
  • Claim: (a) a stationary portion comprising a first base and a first wall extending from said first base, said first wall being of substantially semi-cylindrical cross section to provide a first opening;
  • Claim: (b) a moveable portion, moveable between a closed position and an open position, said moveable portion comprising a second base moveably mounted on said first base, a top and a second wall extending between the second base and said top; said second wall being concentric with said first wall and being of substantially semi-cylindrical cross section to provide a second opening; one of said walls extending through more than 180.degree. so that said walls overlap in the closed position of said moveable portion to insure effective shielding; said moveable portion in its open position having said second opening aligned with said first opening to provide a passage of sufficient size for movement of the generator therethrough;
  • Claim: (c) said moveable portion and said stationary portion being comprised of material preventing penetration of radiation from the generator;
  • Claim: (d) said stationary portion and said moveable portion each including segments placed vertically one on top of the other.
  • Claim: 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said second wall has an outer diameter slightly less than the inside diameter of said first wall to allow rotation of said moveable portion inside of said stationary portion and said second wall has an arc greater than that of said first wall to provide overlap of said second wall with said first wall in the closed position.
  • Claim: 3. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the inside diameter of said second wall is slightly greater than the outside diameter of said generator.
  • Claim: 4. The apparatus according to claim 3 comprising means for fixing said moveable portion in the closed position.
  • Claim: 5. The apparatus according to claim 4 wherein said fixing means comprises spring means engageable with a complementary portion connected to said second wall to provide a detent which must be overcome for the moveable portion to be moved to the fully open position.
  • Claim: 6. The apparatus according to claim 5 wherein said generator includes a boss extending upwardly therefrom to provide access to the radioactive isotope containing solution, said top including a slotted portion for receiving said boss, a closure member for covering said slotted portion while said generator is contained within said device, said closure member defining with said slotted portion another opening located above said boss to provide access to said boss, and a stopper for covering said other opening when not being used for gaining access to said boss.
