Abstract: A protective shroud is provided for covering a radiation shield that surrounds a nuclear pharmacy generator. The radiation shield includes components having seams therebetween. The protective shroud includes a tubular body configured to contain the radiation shield, a first opening adapted for receiving the radiation shield, and a second opening for allowing access into the radiation shield.

Abstract: A holder for a vial containing a sterile liquid for use with a radiopharmaceutical elution system includes a holder body. The body has a top, an opposing bottom, an opening in the top and a vial chamber. The vial chamber extends from the opening in the top toward the bottom and is sized and shaped for receiving the vial therein. An access opening extends through the bottom to the vial chamber and is aligned with a septum of the elution vial when the sterile vial is received in the vial chamber. A cap is removably secured to the top of the holder body for selectively opening and closing the vial chamber. The holder body includes plastic and has a density less than the density of the cap.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a radiation shielding lid of a radiation shielding container (e.g., auxiliary radiation shield) designed to house a radioisotope generator assembly.

Abstract: A shotshell having a hull with a protective barrier layer of fiber or other alternate material that prevents the hull from being in contact with the chamber. The protective layer may cover any portion of the exterior of the hull. The protective layer protects the plastic hull from the hot chamber of the barrel that would adversely affect the structural integrity or functioning of the shotshell. The protective material may be of precut size and thickness that when applied to the exterior of the hull will increase the diameter to reduce the clearance with the chamber and thereby resist sliding out of the chamber before the breech is closed. The protective layer may also have an adhesive surface disposed between the exterior surface of the hull and the protective layer to prevent the separation of the hull and the protective material.
