Lead-Lined Decay Cabinet
Shielded storage for decaying radioactive materials, designed to support radiation protection and controlled waste handling in nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy environments.
Key features and benefits
Lead-lined cabinet body – provides radiation shielding for decaying radioactive materials during storage
Key-locked door – prevents unauthorized access to radioactive waste and sources
Two adjustable internal shelves – support flexible storage of containers and boxed materials
High load-bearing shelves – each shelf supports up to 100 lbs for waste containers and sources
Accommodates sharps containers and boxed waste – supports safe staging prior to disposal
Suitable for flood source storage – allows controlled storage of calibration or test sources
- Customizable - Lead shielding available in 0.25", 0.5", and 1"thickness on all six sides. Overall sizes can be requested to fit corners and spaces.
Product overview
The lead-lined decay cabinet is designed for the short-term and long-term storage of decaying radioactive materials used in nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy operations. The cabinet features a durable steel enclosure with integrated radiation shielding and a key-locked door to help control access to radioactive contents.
Inside the cabinet, two adjustable shelves support a range of storage configurations and are rated to handle heavy waste containers, sharps containers, and other boxed radioactive materials awaiting decay or disposal. The cabinet can also be used to store flood sources in a controlled, shielded environment.
This cabinet is typically installed as part of a broader radiation protection and waste management strategy and should be coordinated with surrounding shielding elements, room layouts, and access controls. It is intended to support safe storage and decay practices rather than replace room-level shielding requirements.
