Top-Loading Lead-Shielded Decay Drum | Radioactive Waste Decay Storage Container
The Meditronix Top-Loading Lead-Shielded Decay Drum is a secure storage container designed for temporary containment of low-energy beta and gamma radiation waste pending decay-in-storage disposal. Features a top-loading lid with a 6"x6" drop port for hands-free waste depositing, constructed from 99.99% pure lead sheet with painted mild steel or SS304 frame. Mounted on four wheels with side handles for mobility and stability. Available with lead shielding of 3mm, 6mm, 12mm, or 25mm.
Key Features:
- Top-loading design with 6"x6" drop port enables safe, efficient waste depositing without full container opening
- 99.99% pure lead sheet (first grade) provides superior radiation attenuation during extended storage
- Secure lid closure maintains containment and prevents spillage during decay period
- Round-shaped structure optimizes shielding efficiency and structural integrity
- Constructed with painted mild steel or SS304 frame for durability and corrosion resistance
- Side handles allow convenient lifting and repositioning for departmental mobility
- Four wheels including two lockable wheels ensure secure positioning and controlled transport
- Selectable lead shielding thicknesses accommodate varied waste activity levels

Applications:
- Decay-in-storage radioactive waste containment
- Short-lived isotope waste temporary storage (Tc-99m, I-131, etc.)
- Contaminated syringes, vials, and consumables awaiting decay
- Radiopharmacy and nuclear medicine department waste segregation
- Departmental waste staging for decay protocols before disposal
- Compliance with regulatory decay-in-storage procedures
Material Selection Guide:
- Mild Steel with Paint: Cost-effective option for standard departmental use
- SS304: Recommended for high-decontamination frequency and aggressive chemical environments
Shielding Selection Guide:
- 3mm lead: Low-activity waste storage with minimal extended exposure
- 6mm lead: Standard nuclear medicine decay-in-storage operations
- 12mm lead: High-volume or extended decay period waste containment
- 25mm lead: Maximum attenuation for high-activity waste decay storage
Safety Features:
- Drop-port design minimizes hand contact with contaminated surfaces during waste placement
- Secure top-loading lid maintains containment throughout decay period
- Lead shielding protects staff and environmental areas during extended storage
- Lockable wheels prevent unintended displacement in designated decay storage areas
- Organized design supports departmental decay-in-storage record keeping
Regulatory Compliance:
- AERB-compliant design for Indian nuclear medicine facilities
- Supports institutional decay-in-storage protocols and radiation protection programs
- Lead shielding meets international standards for radioactive waste temporary storage
