ABSTRACT:
A storage and transport container for radioactive medical materials comprising a stainless steel shell with a central stainless steel well opening downwardly from the top of the container with a multiplicity of small diameter, generally U-shaped stainless steel tubes, one end of each such tube extending out of each side of the stainless steel shell, the bottom of the U-portion of each tube passing under the central well. Where the container is substantially cylindrical, the well and stainless steel tubes may extend substantially through the length of the shell. The wells of the containers are stoppered or sealed with a plug of radiation shielding material. A novel handle structure for such containers comprises a vertical shaft connected to the container by a short open sleeve attached near the top of one side of the container so that the shaft may move upwardly and downwardly in the sleeve and rotate therein. The top of the shaft has a horizontal handle extending therefrom and the opposite side of the bottom of the shaft has a pin extending outwardly therefrom, which pin is engageable with a locking groove in the sleeve which retains and orients the handle with respect to the container when the handle is in the raised position.
