20090003975 | Robotic arm for a radiation treatment system - A robotic treatment delivery system including a linear accelerator (LINAC), and a robotic arm coupled to the LINAC. The robotic arm is configured to move the LINAC along at least four rotational degrees of freedom and one substantially linear degree of freedom. | 01-01-2009 |
20090123255 | CANISTER TRANSFER SYSTEM WITH INDEPENDENT TRAVELING SHIELDED BELL - A transfer system for spent fuel canisters includes a carrier, a shielded bell trolley movable along the carrier and carrying a shielded bell, and a canister trolley movable along the carrier and carrying a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the spent fuel canister into and out of the shielded bell. The canister trolley can move along the carrier independent of the shielded bell trolley and the shielded bell trolley can move along the carrier independent of the canister trolley. The shielded bell trolley and the canister trolley can be selectively interlocked for selected transfer operations. | 05-14-2009 |
20100254785 | LONG-TERM STORAGE PACKAGE WITH REMOVABLE BASE - An overall to long-term storage package intended to receive a case containing radioactive materials, the package comprising a lateral body delimiting a housing for receiving the case, the package body being closed at its top end and at its low end respectively by a removable head cover, and by a package base. According to the invention, the package base takes the form of a removable base cover, allowing insertion of the case via the low end of the body. | 10-07-2010 |
