A radiation-shielding container for storing a syringe includes a body
assembly and a cap assembly securable to the body assembly such that
first and second chamber portions define a chamber for storing the
syringe. The body assembly includes a body shield formed of radiation
shielding material, a body shell that defines a first cavity having an
open end for receiving the body shield and defines a first chamber
portion for receiving a portion of the syringe, wherein an inner wall of
the body shell separates the first cavity and the first chamber portion,
and a body plug secured to the body shell to cover the open end of the
first cavity and retain the body shield within the first cavity. The cap
assembly includes a cap shield formed of radiation shielding material, a
cap shell that defines a second cavity having an open end for receiving
the cap shield and defines a second chamber portion for receiving a
portion of the syringe, wherein an inner wall of the cap shell separates
the second cavity and the second chamber portion, and a cap plug secured
to the cap shell to cover the open end of the second cavity and retain
the cap shield within the second cavity.
