Foot or elbow operated faucets. Use of radioactive materials only in properly designed and designated laboratories. When applicable, lead shielding must be incorporated to the structure. Therefore, the design of the laboratory must incorporate adequate additional facilities for this purpose. The wall paint must be washable for ease of decontamination.
Gloss paint is the recommended type.
The laboratory must comply with the general fire and physical safety requirement for radioactive usage areas. This fume hood must have a dedicated exhaust line. The fume hood must have a minimum of 100 linear feet per minute average face velocity. An average face velocity of 125 linear feet per minute is more desirable. The need for installation of filtration systems will be evaluated and determined by the RSO based on the types and quantities of volatile radionuclides being used.
