Abstract
A loading apparatus is usable to embed radioactive seeds into carriers, while limiting exposure of the user to radioactive energy from the radioactive seeds. The loading apparatus facilitates accurate positioning of radioactive seeds within a carrier. The illustrated loaders comprise two components, a base and a lid, although in other embodiments the loaders may be separated into additional components.
