WGHS™ Waste Gas Handling SystemCyclotron 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?
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.
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.
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.
