1. A shielding containing comprising: an outer shell;  an inner shell supported within said outer shell, said inner shell being formed with an inner wall and outer wall defining a space therebetween for receiving radiation shielding material, said inner wall including means conforming generally to the contours of a radioaerosol source and a transport means for supporting said radioaerosol source and said transport means; and  a removable cover formed with radiation shielding material and including means conforming generally to the contours of the radioaerosol transport means to be positioned thereunder, said inner wall and said cover defining means including at least one opening between them to permit the transport means placed therein to be in fluid communication with the surrounding atmosphere when in use. 2. The shielding container of claim 1 wherein said inner wall defines a ramp to support a fluid delivery tube to the radioaerosol source. 3. The shielding container of claim 1 containing auxiliary radiation shielding means to close said at least one opening when said source and said transport means are not in use to effectively isolate said source and said transport means from the surrounding atmosphere. 4. The shielding container of claim 3 including a lid to be retained on said outer shell by said auxiliary shielding means when said auxiliary shielding means is positioned to close said at least one opening.
