Abstract
A radiation treatment apparatus comprising a radiation shielding container (a rest container) having a plurality of first openings. A plurality of radiator holders are connected to respective drive cables, the radiator holders being axially insertable and removable from the openings by means of the drive cables through flexible hoses connected to the container at the openings. A common single drive unit is connected to all of the drive cables for joint movement of all the drive cables and therewith for joint insertion and joint removal of the radiator holders into and from the openings via the drive cables. A second radiation shielding container (an intermediate container) has a plurality of second openings for selectively receiving respective of the radiator holders. Hose coupling elements provide detachable through-connections of the free ends of the flexible hoses selectively to a respective one of the second openings or a respective hollow probe for treatment. The drive simultaneously inserts the radiator holders selected for treatment into the respective hollow probes and for simultaneously inserting the radiator holders not selected for treatment into the respective second openings, whereby the radiator holders not required at the time for treatment are guided through the respective flexible hoses into the respective second openings in the second radiation shielding container while the radiation holders required at the time for treatment are guided into the respective hollow probes.
