Frequently asked questions
What are isotope pots used for?
Isotope pots are shielded containers for the safe storage and transport of radioactive sources used in medical imaging, industrial radiography and research.
What manufacturing methods are available?
Cast lead, machined lead and extruded lead isotope pots, plus lead-fill containers where the lead is poured into a steel or stainless outer shell.
Can you manufacture to specific shielding requirements?
Yes. Providing that your Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA) has calculated the source isotope, activity and dose-rate target at the surface, we can manufacture the pot accordingly.
Do you supply lined transport containers?
Yes — we manufacture lead linings for Type A and Type B(U) transport containers, working to customer drawings and IAEA requirements.
What lead times apply for bespoke isotope pots?
Standard cast and machined pots typically take 2–4 weeks. Complex designs requiring tooling or stainless outer shells take 4–8 weeks depending on quantity.
