| Safety Notes 1) Beta radiation shields are unsuitable for use against secondary x-rays (Bremsstrahlung) or gamma radiation. 2) Gamma radiation shields will block emissions effectively from 125I and any low energy gamma emitters. They are not suitable for more energetic isotopes of iodine. Heavier- walled shields are available for use with these isotopes - details on request. Gamma shields must not be used with beta isotopes since Bremsstrahlung will be produced. 3) Radioactive waste must never be stored on the benchtop for long periods and must be disposed of properly. Proper handling and storage of isotopes minimises unnecessary exposure to radiation. |
