An apparatus for shielding medical personnel from radioactive materials being administered to a patient in need thereof, including a radioactive syringe shield and a radioactive fluid pump shield. The radioactive syringe shield includes a syringe main body, and syringe shields proximal and distal ends each configured to attach to opposite ends of the syringe shield main body in a threaded male/female connection. Together, the syringe shield main body, and proximal and distal ends are configured to contain therewithin a medical syringe containing radioactive medical fluid. The radioactive fluid pump shield is a shielded box configured to contain the fluid pump and has top and front portions pivotally attached to adjacent portions to allow selective access to the fluid pump.

The present invention relates to a medical radioisotope transport system that securely holds the radiopharmaceutical imaging system or medical elution system to the floor of a vehicle and ensures the protection of the elution system during transportation. The transport system as per the present invention includes at least a floor-mounting device, a support mechanism with transportation plates, and a locking device. The transport system as per the present invention is encompassed with advanced technical and safety features to ensure safe transportation of radiopharmaceuticals ensuring compliance to the regulatory and quality requirements. The transport system as per the present invention is easy to use, and successfully overcome all the complexities involved in prior available methods for transportation of radiopharmaceutical imaging systems or medical radioisotope elution systems.

A system for transporting radioactive materials which may include a containment vessel, a thermal shield, and an impact limiter. The containment vessel may include a vessel body having a storage cavity for receiving radioactive materials, a lid coupled to an upper portion of the vessel body to enclose a top end of the storage cavity, and a lid seal such as a gasket positioned between the lid and the upper portion of the vessel body. The thermal shield may be positioned over the lid. The first impact limiter may be positioned over the thermal shield. The thermal shield may be resistant to high temperatures and may help to protect the integrity of the lid seal when the system is subjected to high temperatures, such as during a fire condition.

A mobile reactor radiation shielding solution prevents activation of structural materials to reduce a radiation dosage risk to living organisms and accelerates timetables for transport. The shielding solution can include: in-vessel neutron shield, in-vessel shadow shield, transport shield, and module shadow shield. In-vessel neutron shield reduces and prevents the activation of the structural materials and significantly reduces the need for heavy shielding to shield against the gamma emissions from activated structural materials. In-vessel shadow shield provides neutron and gamma shielding between the reactor and a balance-of-plant (BOP) module and control system. In-vessel shadow shield is placed near the active nuclear core to minimize size of the shield while maximizing the protected arc to shield radiation workers while preparing the nuclear reactor for transport. Transport shield is used during transportation when living organisms come into proximity of the reactor. Module shadow shield shields reactor control components and BOP module during operation.
