Lead-Lined Waste Cabinet
Shielded waste cabinet designed for controlled collection and storage of non-sharps radioactive waste in nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy environments.
Key features and benefits
Shielded waste chute with covered opening – allows radioactive waste to be deposited directly while limiting radiation exposure
Designed for non-sharps radioactive waste – supports safe handling and segregation of waste streams
Polyethylene waste container compatibility – accommodates lined containers prior to decay and disposal
Stainless steel cabinet construction – supports durability, corrosion resistance, and cleanability
Lead-lined cabinet body – provides radiation shielding for stored radioactive waste
Customizable internal configuration – cabinet size can be built to required dimensions, with internal layout and access configured to suit facility waste handling workflows. Lead shielding available in 0.25", 0.5", and 1" thickness on all six sides.
Product overview
The lead-lined waste cabinet is designed for the controlled collection and storage of non-sharps radioactive waste generated in nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy operations. The cabinet features a stainless steel enclosure with integrated radiation shielding and a spacious waste chute with a shielded cover, allowing waste to be deposited directly into a polyethylene container.
This design supports safe waste handling by limiting direct contact and reducing the need to open the cabinet during routine disposal activities. The interior accommodates a waste container used to stage materials prior to decay and final disposal. Stainless steel construction supports routine cleaning and decontamination in controlled laboratory environments.
The cabinet is intended to be used as part of a broader radiation protection and waste management strategy and should be coordinated with surrounding shielding elements, room layout, and access controls. It supports safe waste handling practices but does not replace room-level shielding requirements.
