German term or phrase: umschließen
Für die Curietron-Quellen ist eine Genehmigung für den Umgang mit Cäsium-137 als umschlossener radioaktiver Stoff erforderlich.

English translation:sealed [radioactive] source
Explanation:
The radiation safety manuals of my US-based client refer to this as 'sealed source', and I think that's the short version of 'sealed radioactive source'.
