Long-distance transport of radionuclides between PET cyclotron and PET radiochemistry

Preusche, S.; Füchtner, F.; Steinbach, J.; Zessin, J.; Krug, H.; Neumann, W.

The Rossendorf PET Center has a special feature: its PET cyclotron and the radiochemical laboratories are 500 metres away from each other. The distance is bridged by our radionuclide transport system (RATS).
Details of RATS such as layout, technical parameters, control system, radiation protection and our experience in long-distance transport of radionuclides, are indicated below.

Keywords: RATS
