Abstract
An opportunity to closely examine the Tc-99m generator assembly process at ANSTO highlighted some potentially significant skin dose risks. This poster looks into the different stages and processes that were undertaken to optimise the generator assembly process with the introduction of preventative measures, ultimately leading to a reduction in radioactive contamination and the resulting skin dose.
