The radiation shielding consists of:

	The sample chamber door which is a lead-filled component attached by hinges to the main body of the unit.
	The fixed shield is part of the main body of the unit and is also a lead-filled, steel encasement.
	The upper and lower heads are both made from lead, totally encased in steel jackets.
	The source drawers are brass-encased, lead-filled cylinders.
	Any attempt to remove or tamper with the shielding material may lead to exposure of the operator to very high levels of radiation.
