Abstract
An irradiation vessel is made from such material and in such form that it can also be used as administration vessel of a medicine contained therein, this medicine first being irradiated with neutrons in a nuclear reactor and subsequently being administered as radioactive medicine to a patient without the medicine having to be moved outside the vessel intermediately. To prevent additional handling operations, with the risk of contamination of the medicine, higher radiation doses to personnel and radioactive contamination of the environment when vessels are used in which the irradiation and administration take place separately, a vessel has been developed which allows a medicine to be irradiated and to be directly administered to the patient thereafter via an external carrier liquid.
