Laboratory Hot

Laboratories engaged in research and development in the field of nuclear and radiation safety must be equipped with special facilities for working with high-level radioactive materials. Such laboratories are called “hot” and require special training and equipment.

The “Hot” laboratory is a complex of premises that includes several zones with different layouts and finishes. Each zone may contain special chambers or boxes designed to work with radioactive material. These chambers must be sealed and equipped with a ventilation and air conditioning system.

One of the main features of the “Hot” laboratory is its zonal layout. This means that each area must be isolated from other areas to prevent the spread of radioactive materials. In addition, the zones must be equipped with special devices for monitoring and measuring radiation levels.

Particular attention is paid to the decoration of the premises of the “Hot” laboratory. Walls, floors and ceilings must be made of materials that do not allow radiation to pass through. Air and noise filtration systems should also be installed to minimize the exposure of laboratory personnel to noise and vibration.

Laboratory equipment must also be special and meet safety requirements. This may include instruments for measuring radiation levels, cooling and radiation protection systems, and special tools and materials for working with radioactive substances.

Overall, the Goryachaya laboratory is a difficult and dangerous place to work, but it is necessary for research and development in the nuclear and radiation field. It is important to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment, and to follow all safety precautions when working with radioactive materials.



A hot laboratory is a specialized room in which work is carried out with highly active radioactive materials. This may include nuclear physics, radiological research, safety training, and other activities that require special care when working with radioactive material.

An important advantage of the hot laboratory is that it provides high
