Source Holder
The source holder is constructed from either stainless steel or low carbon steel
with a polyester powder coating designed to perform the following:
• House all radiation-emitting source capsules.
• Protect the radioactive source.
• Provide a means for shielding and locking out the radiation beam.
• Shield all areas in which radiation is not intended.
Source Material
The source material is either Cesium 137 (Cs-137) or Cobalt 60 (Co-60). The
course capsules are Special Form, double-encapsulated in stainless steel.
(Optional: Special Form, triple-encapsulated in Haynes 320).
Shutter
A shutter is the mechanism that opens or closes the radiation beam port and
either permits or denies the movement of the source carriers from the safe
storage of the source holder into the process vessel.
