WGHS™ Waste Gas Handling System Cyclotron Off-Gas Decay-and-Release

The facility-utility that turns radioactive synthesis off-gas from a radiation-safety problem into a routine, recorded process. Detects, isolates the hot cell, holds the gas until it has decayed, and releases it under audit.

Key Features

  • Detects radioactive gases generated during cyclotron synthesis ((the manufacturer spec))
  • Automatically isolates the host hot cell when off-gas radioactivity is detected ((the manufacturer spec))
  • Delivers off-gas into storage tanks for decay ((the manufacturer spec))
  • Releases the gas safely only after the radioactivity has decayed ((the manufacturer spec))
  • Checks and records data for every waste cycle — per-cycle audit log ((the manufacturer spec))

Applications

Radiation safety on the off-gas side of the cyclotron radiopharmacy

Cyclotron-synthesis off-gas disposal

Synthesis processes generate radioactive gases — WGHS captures them at source, holds them for decay, and releases them after radioactivity has dropped to safe levels. No direct atmospheric release of live activity.

Hot-cell isolation on gas event

When off-gas radioactivity is detected, WGHS automatically isolates the host hot cell — limiting the release path and giving the operator a defined containment window for response.

Per-cycle audit log

Every waste cycle is checked and recorded. The decay-and-release log is an audit-trail input for the radiopharmacy programme — useful at AERB inspection and for internal radiation-safety review.

Pairs with SYNT and other (the manufacturer )hot cells

WGHS is part of the manufacturer-supplied cyclotron stack. Specified alongside SYNT (synthesis), it closes the radiation-safety loop that the synthesis cell opens. Related the manufacturer products: RES 1, RES 2, SYNTHERA HC.

AERB licensing input

For an Indian cyclotron site, off-gas handling is one of the inputs to the AERB Regulatory Requirements for Medical Cyclotron Facility licensing path. WGHS provides the engineered control that documentation needs to cite.

Facility-level utility

WGHS is not a per-cell accessory — it's a facility-utility that serves the synthesis-cell estate. One unit, multiple host cells covered.

Why WGHS?

Decay-then-release
Safety cycle, by design

The simplest answer to live radioactive off-gas is to wait. WGHS makes that wait into a controlled, recorded process: detect the gas, isolate the cell, store the gas, wait for decay, release after decay. Each step recorded for audit.

Per-cycle log
AERB-friendly paper trail

Every waste cycle generates a recorded data point — when the gas came in, when it decayed, when it was released. That is the audit trail an AERB inspection asks for, in a form the operator does not have to assemble manually.

Facility-utility
Not a per-cell add-on

WGHS serves the cyclotron synthesis-cell estate. One installation covers the off-gas safety story for the whole synthesis line — a smaller capital footprint than per-cell off-gas handling.
