Product overview
The Radioactive waste decay box Model RWD-20 is a shielded temporary storage unit designed for nuclear medicine departments, radiotherapy centres, radiopharmacies and radioactive-material laboratories. It provides localized radiation attenuation for the safe collection, isolation and decay storage of short‑lived radionuclide waste produced during diagnostic, therapeutic and radiopharmaceutical procedures.

Key features

• High-density lead shielding with double-layer 304 stainless steel outer shell for mechanical protection.
• Sliding cover plate with a rotating input port to minimise direct radiation escape during insertion.
• Four load-bearing universal casters with locking mechanisms for movable or fixed installation.
• Anti-fingerprint surface treatment to maintain a clean appearance and facilitate decontamination.

Technical specifications

Lead shielding thickness: 20 mm Pb.
Dimensions (H×W×L): 400 mm × 400 mm × 500 mm.
Access: Sliding cover with rotating input port.
Mobility: Four locking universal casters; can be fixed in place.

Application fields

• Nuclear medicine departments: Temporary containment and decay storage for short‑lived diagnostic isotopes and radiopharmaceutical residues.
• Radiation oncology: Secure intermediate storage of radionuclide waste produced during therapeutic procedures.
• Radiopharmacies and laboratories: Safe handling point for vial disposal, contaminated tools and short‑lived waste prior to decay or transfer.

Operation & maintenance
Install on a stable surface and engage caster locks when stationary. Use the rotating input port to introduce waste items with minimal exposure. Follow institution radiation safety procedures for inventory, decay time tracking and final disposal. Clean exterior surfaces with approved decontamination agents compatible with stainless steel finishes.
