Hot Laboratory (English)

Japanese: ホットラボ(英語表記)hot laboratory
Hot Laboratory (English)
A laboratory where strong radiation can be handled safely. A laboratory where the strength of the radiation source is 50mCi (millicuries) or more, i.e. 1.85× 109 Bq (becquerels) or more, is often called a hot lab. The storage room for radioactive materials is sufficiently shielded and protected, and is airtight, and experiments are carried out using a remote-controlled device such as a magic hand. There are nearly 2000 hot labs in Japan, including the Japan Atomic Energy Agency's Oarai Research and Development Center in Oarai Town, Ibaraki Prefecture.
