Installation Process of Sealed Source Iridum-192 for Industrial Radiography at Iridium -192 Production Laboratory, Medical Technology Division

Full-text:The installation of the Ir-192 sealed source in the hot cell is based on technology tranferred to Nuclear Malaysia namely the Medical Technlogy Division (BTP), from the Korean Atomic Energy Agency Research Institute (KAERI) and Ho Jin Industry Ltd. The use of BTP's production facilities for the installation of an Ir-192 sealed source is authorised by the Department of Atomic Energy.The procedures for putting Ir-192 into source charger,which will be used in the industrial radiography, are described in this study.A picture of serial number pigtail is taken for record-keeping and security reasons,and each task must independently validated. In conclusion,competence is required to install an Ir-192 sealed source correctly and to prevent leaks to the Ir-192 sealed source. (author)
