Summary

The Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón is procuring and installing an integrated system to collect, monitor, store, manage and safely discharge liquid radioactive waste generated by its Nuclear Medicine Day Hospital, including waste associated with Lu-177 and possible Lu-177m. The single, indivisible supply includes a shielded separator toilet, automated waste-selection equipment, two independent controllers, radiation monitoring with six probes, two surveillance cameras, a workstation and central supervision software, together with the necessary pipework, pumps, valves, installation, testing and commissioning. The hospital will provide four storage and decay tanks, each with a capacity of 700–1,000 litres; the system is designed for four treatment stations and a workload of four patients per day (20 per week).
