Long-handled clamp for radioactive sources

Radiation Source Long-handled Clamp, Remote Radioactive Operation Clamp, Radiation Source Remote Operating Rod

Product BrandModel: Yanquan/YQ

The long-handled clamp is an essential tool to assist in the transfer and capping of radiation sources, as well as the transfer and placement of lead plugs. It is used for grasping radiation sources during operations with high-activity radiation sources. It can also be used for: operations and movement of radioactive items and suspicious chemically and biologically hazardous substances; It can withstand α, β, and γ rays without changing after radiation exposure, suitable for long-distance operations, reducing the radiation dose received by personnel and the harm of radioactive substances to personnel. 

Product Features:

l The long-handled clamp is equipped with a quick-change clamp finger function. Each pair of clamp fingers consists of two equal-length arc-shaped stainless steel strips with a thickness of no less than 3mm, connected to the clamp head via two bolts

l Length: The total length ≥ 1500mm, ensuring that the distance between the operator and the radiation source is no less than 1200mm

l Angle: The angle between the clamp head and the handle rod can be adjusted within the range of 90 °

l The clamp head is in a natural open state, and pressing the handle can close it to grasp the packaging container or radiation source. The maximum opening of the clamp head ≥ 100mm;

l Composition: Equipped with no less than 2 sets of clamp fingers of different lengths. The radiation source operating rod consists of a handle, handle rod, clamp, and clamp fingers. It is easy to operate and can accurately and safely transfer radioactive targets. It can withstand α, β, and γ rays without changing after radiation exposure. 

ProductApplications:   

1) Radiation accident rescue and emergency response, nuclear environmental response, such as nuclear power plants, fire protection, CDC, medical institutions;

2) Radiation source maintenance and treatment operations, nuclear industry environment, production, transportation of radioactive isotope products, and environmental protection systems;

3) Special radiation accident handling teams, monitoring and inspection of radioactive materials at ports;

4) Nuclear accident and anti-terrorism teams, special forces and anti-terrorism teams, nuclear power plants, radioactive equipment inspection

5)It can also be used with standard personal protective equipment to isolate any high-energy ray energy sources, providing protection for major casualties and on-site evacuation
