handling small radioactive samples

I want to order some small commercial radioactive samples to test my geiger counter but I want to know how to safely store them. I'm purchasing a lead pig to keep them in but I think I remember hearing something about radioactive gas building up inside the container over time? idk it was a while ago but are there any other precautions and or concerns I should take in storing test samples?

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
