This effectively reduces the volume of the hot cell (100) and allows the check and evacuation of this space through a third conduit (23).

These two technologies save even more space by combining the synthesis and dispensing process in one hot cell.

An opened top, outer perimeter structure (14), including at least one wall (26, 28, 30, 32), substantially encloses the hot cell (12), the cell (12) is provided with a roof (42).

A temporary shelter for housing and shielding a high energy radiation source (16) used to irradiate objects and includes a hot cell (12) for enclosing the source (16).
