Abstract

A container 10 for a radio-active isotope comprises a shell 12, 14 for attenuating radiation from the isotope 34, a tube 30 extending into the shell 12, 14 from a rear end 16, the tube 30 being open at its rear end to allow the insertion of a drive linkage 32 for the isotope, an opening 42 in the casing and a lining 48 defining a passage 44 from the outside of the shell to the tube 30, and means at the mouth of the passage for locating in the passage either a collimator or a shielding member. The container can also mount an adjustable collimator at one end. <IMAGE>
