Abstract
A multiple source container for radioactive material is provided. The multiple source container can include a cap attachable to a housing. The housing can include a plurality of source vials and a plurality of transfer vials. The cap and the housing can each be made from a radiation shielding material such that the source vials and the transfer vials can store radioactive material therein. The multiple source container can further include a plurality of ports, wherein a hole can be provided at a bottom of each of the plurality of source vials and each of the plurality of transfer vials, wherein the hole can each be coupled to one of the plurality of ports respective.
