Nuclear Hot Cell

Hot cells for handling radioactive materials

Thick lead shielded panels are installed on all sides of the hot cell to protect the user from high dose exposure. The safe containment box inside the hot cell is made from stainless steel with rounded edges to provide a safe working space for operations on radioactive materials. The inside of the hot cell is visible through heavy lead glass viewing window. The radioactive materials can be handled by using remote control manipulator tongs.
