Abstract

See full text

This disclosure pertains to a holder for a radioactive source capsule with pivoting first and second parts, with redundant mechanisms for retention of the capsule during transportation and handling. These retaining mechanisms include a set screw in the first pivoting part to engage the capsule and to prevent radial movement of the capsule, a locking shelf in the second pivoting part to fix the axial orientation of the pivoting bottom end of the capsule holder, and a capture tooth within the capsule to prevent release of the capsule while in the shipping and/or handling tube of the capsule holder.
