ABSTRACT:
An apparatus in one example comprises a vial that comprises a vial bottom and a vial cap that connect to enclose one or more radioactive seeds; and a radiation shielding container that comprises a bottom portion and a top portion that connect to enclose the vial. The radiation shielding container and the vial comprise one or more vents for movement of a sterilant therethrough for sterilization of the one or more radioactive seeds within the vial. The bottom portion of the radiation shielding container comprises a structure that engages the vial bottom to prevent rotational movement of the vial bottom during removal of the vial cap.
