School sources are very low activity and storage several metres away from persons is generally acceptable as a precaution. However, if multiple sources are to be stored, the 3.3mm thick lead shield PA2667-060 can carry up to 4x mixed Radioactive Sources for reduced emission and safer storage. For bulk numbers of gamma sources, their radiation activities add together and therefore a thicker lead container is required for providing suitable protection. A bulk lead container for sources, (often known as a “pig”), Is available for up to 10 gamma sources or mixed sources.
