Radiation Source Long-Handle Tongs Radioactive Remote Operation Tongs Radiation Source Remote Operation Rod

Product BrandModel: Yanquan/YQ

Long-handle tongs are essential tools for assisting in the transfer and capping of radiation sources, as well as the transfer and placement of lead plugs. They are used for gripping radiation sources during operations involving higher activity levels. They can also be used for handling, moving radioactive materials, and suspicious chemical and biological hazardous substances; capable of withstanding alpha, beta, and gamma rays without changes after radiation exposure, suitable for remote operations to reduce personnel radiation exposure doses and minimize harm from radioactive materials. 

Product Features:

l The long-handle tongs feature a quick-change jaw function. Each pair of jaws consists of two arc-shaped stainless steel strips with a thickness of not less than 3mm and equal length, connected to the tong head via two bolts.

l Length: Total length ≥1500mm, ensuring a distance of not less than 1200mm between the operator and the radiation source.

l Angle: The angle between the tong head and the handle rod is adjustable within a 90° range.

l The tong head is naturally open and can be closed by pressing the handle, enabling the gripping of encapsulated containers or radiation sources. The maximum opening of the tong head is ≥100mm.

l Composition: Equipped with no less than 2 sets of jaws of different lengths. The radiation source operation rod consists of a handle, rod, tongs, and jaws. It is simple to operate and can accurately and safely move radioactive targets. It can withstand alpha, beta, and gamma rays without changes after radiation exposure. 

ProductUses:   

1) Radiation accident emergency rescue, nuclear environment response, such as nuclear power plants, firefighting, CDC, medical;

2) Radiation source maintenance and handling operations, nuclear industry environments, production and transmission of radioactive isotope products, environmental protection systems;

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

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

5) Can also be used with standard personal protective equipment to isolate any high-energy radiation sources, providing protection for mass casualties and on-site evacuation.
