Shipment

Radioactive sources are subject to strict regulations. Therefore, when
shipping the sources, we are bound to the respective regulations of
the country where they will be used.
Germany
We are only allowed to ship radioactive sources when we have a copy
of the handling permit in hand. We can assist you with the procure-
ment of the necessary documents. If you need help, contact our
responsible sales organisation.
For safety reasons and to save costs, we always ship the source
holder with the source installed. If the operator needs the source
holder in advance, the source has to be shipped separately at a later
time. In such cases, the source is shipped in a transport drum.
Other countries
We are only allowed to ship radioactive sources when we have a copy
of the import license in hand. We can assist you with the procurement
of the necessary documents. If you need help, contact our responsi-
ble sales organisation.
We can only ship to foreign countries when the radioactive source is
mounted in the source holder.
During shipment, the source holder is in switch position " OFF". This
position is secured by a lock.
Transport of the loaded source holder is carried out by a company
authorized by us, with official approval for such transports.
The transport is carried out in a type A packaging (source holder) in
compliance with the European and international convention on the
transport of dangerous goods (ADR and DGR/IATA regulations).

Accessories

Brackets and special mounting accessories are available for mount-
ing the VEGASOURCE 83.
For mounting on pipelines, there are corresponding clamp brackets.

To protect the switching mechanism of the VEGASOURCE 83 from
dirt or contamination, a metallic protective cap is available.
This also allows the padlock to be permanently protected from dirt,
moisture and corrosion.
The protective cap can only be used on the devices with manual
switching ON/OFF.
The protective cap is available as an accessory and can also be
retrofitted.
