Abstract: A device containment apparatus includes a vessel for storing an explosive device and minimizing dispersal of radioactive material. The vessel includes an outer wall defining an interior area. A first frame supports the vessel and supports a first or outer radiation shield that is spaced from the vessel. A second or inner radiation shield can also be provided, supported adjacent the vessel's outer wall by a second frame that includes upper and lower frame rings. The vessel and the second radiation shield can be generally spherical, while the first frame is substantially rectangular, and the first radiation shield includes substantially planar sides.

Abstract: A radiation-shielding container for storing a syringe includes a body assembly and a cap assembly securable to the body assembly such that first and second chamber portions define a chamber for storing the syringe. The body assembly includes a body shield formed of radiation shielding material, a body shell that defines a first cavity having an open end for receiving the body shield and defines a first chamber portion for receiving a portion of the syringe, wherein an inner wall of the body shell separates the first cavity and the first chamber portion, and a body plug secured to the body shell to cover the open end of the first cavity and retain the body shield within the first cavity.

Abstract: A device containment apparatus includes a vessel for storing a radioactive explosive device. The vessel includes an outer wall defining an interior area. A shield formed of radiation shielding material is positioned adjacent the vessel for minimizing dispersal of radioactive material from the interior area of the vessel.

Abstract: A radiation-shielding container for storing a syringe includes a base assembly, a sleeve and a cap assembly securable to the base assembly. The base assembly includes a body portion defining a chamber portion for receiving the syringe and including a base portion coupled to the body portion. The base portion includes a radiation shield and a shell positioned proximate an outer surface of the radiation shield. The sleeve configured for receiving a portion of the syringe is housed within the chamber portion and releasably secured to the base assembly. The cap assembly defines a second chamber portion for receiving the syringe and includes a radiation shield and a shell positioned proximate an outer surface of the radiation shield.

Abstract: A radiation-shielding container assembly defines a central axis and includes an elongated body portion having a closed end, an open end, and an outer surface extending between the open and closed ends. An inner surface is spaced radially inwardly from the outer surface, and a frusto-conical body surface extends radially inwardly from the outer surface adjacent the open end. A cap portion of the container is securable to the body portion and includes a closed end and an open end that is spaced from the closed end. The open end includes a frusto-conical cap surface that is matingly engageable with the frusto-conical body surface such that when the cap portion is secured to the body portion, the frusto-conical body surface and the frusto-conical cap surface overlap each other along a plane that is perpendicular to the axis, thereby preventing a straight-line path for radiation to escape from the container.
