<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Your solution will probably be more complex than just the selection of a cabinet. You need to be aware of the total volume and activity of the “higher end” radioactive
material you hold, how far you can isolate it from other users of the building, ventilation of the area, and overall site security. The main hazard is likely to be from radon gas, so good ventilation is essential and your cabinet would probably need ventilating
externally. Whilst a cabinet is good for specimen security, good ventilation and distance from staff are more important for H&S.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
