The Hot Laboratory is an area for storage and preparation of radiopharmaceuticals for use in imaging procedures. The area will include a preparation bench, cupboards and sink with touch free taps. Space will be required for dose calibration, record keeping and quality assurance activities. If pre-prepared materials are used, storage and calculation areas may be considerably smaller than for on-site preparation. Radionuclide storage areas and waste storage within the space may require sheilding, including benches and cupboards. The Hot Laboratory will be located with ready access to Nuclear Imaging Rooms and dosing areas.
Additional Design Considerations
- Radiation shielding to be advised by Radiation Consultant
- The floors and walls should be constructed of a material that is easily
decontaminated, with no gaps or crevices
- Vents and traps for radioactive gases should be provided if such are
used
