Iodine-131 is one of the most widely used isotopes in nuclear medicine, particularly in thyroid therapies, but its high-energy gamma emissions require careful containment. The EnviroRAD system incorporates shielded compartments specifically tailored for I-131 waste disposal, reducing radiation exposure to staff and ensuring decay occurs within a secure, compliant unit. By using EnviroRAD, facilities eliminate the risks associated with ad-hoc storage methods, while streamlining their waste management workflow.
Meeting nuclear medicine waste compliance standards is a constant challenge for laboratories handling short and long half-life isotopes. EnviroRAD has been engineered in line with international guidelines (IAEA, IEC, ARPANSA), allowing facilities to demonstrate compliance during audits and regulatory inspections. This system not only safeguards operators but also supports institutions in maintaining their licences and reputation.
The ability to log, segregate, and decay radioactive waste correctly is vital to avoid fines, safety breaches, or licence suspension. EnviroRAD integrates these requirements into a straightforward solution that is easy for staff to operate and manage.
At its core, EnviroRAD is a radioactive decay storage unit that provides controlled containment for multiple isotopes. Its modular structure means that one unit can be expanded into a larger system, matching the scale of your hot lab operations. Each module is shielded with high-density lead and stainless steel to maintain structural integrity and minimise exposure.
By securely storing isotopes until they decay below regulatory clearance levels, EnviroRAD enables facilities to dispose of waste safely without overloading incineration or burial services. This approach also reduces costs while aligning with long-term sustainability goals in nuclear medicine.
Purpose-built for nuclear medicine waste management
Optimised for I-131 waste disposal and other radiopharmaceuticals
Designed to support nuclear medicine waste compliance with IAEA standards
Scalable radioactive decay storage unit with modular capacity
Proven performance in hot labs, PET facilities, and research centres
The EnviroRAD system is more than just storage — it is a complete nuclear medicine waste management solution. By integrating compliance, shielding, and modular design, it ensures that facilities handling I-131 and other isotopes can meet regulatory standards, protect their teams, and operate efficiently. For laboratories committed to best practice in radiation safety, EnviroRAD provides a future-proof investment in compliance and peace of mind.
