A method and apparatus for using a parent radionuclide. The apparatus includes a radiation impervious case, a vial disposed within the case, a stopper with a central bore, the central bore aligned at an oblique angle with respect to the case so that a straight line through the central bore does not pass through any part of the vial and a curved tube that connects the central bore of the stopper and a cap of the vial.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
providing a radiation impervious case; disposing a vial that holds a parent radionuclide within the case; venting the vial through a filter in a stopper that is external to the case along a curved path through the case between the filter and the vial and where the curved path eliminates any line of sight radiation leakage from the vial through the stopper; and connecting a fill tube between the vial and external stopper, said fill tube at least partially following the curved path of the vent.
