<p>A system for disposing of gaseous waste containing at least one radioisotope comprising: (a) a cyclotron (60) for producing the radioisotope; (b) a radiochemistry laboratory (66) for producing the gaseous waste including the at least one radioisotope; (c) a gas waste disposal unit (10) connected to the radiochemistry laboratory (66) for receiving the gaseous waste from the radiochemistry laboratory (66) the gas waste disposal unit (10) comprising: (i) a storage tank (12) for storing the gaseous waste, the storage tank (12) featuring: an outlet valve (22) and an inlet valve (24); (ii) a compressor (26) connected to the inlet valve (24) for pressurizing the gaseous waste in the storage tank (12); and (iii) an EPC (Electrical Pressure Controller)(28) for controlling the compressor (26) and for determining the pressure of the gaseous waste, such that the compressor (26) is substantially intermittently activated by the EPC for maintaining the pressure of the gaseous waste in the storage tank (12).</p> |
