Description
Support the Processing of problematic waste
• Allow you to determine whether material has Pu in it in situ, this will save us having to set up tents, air fed suits etc, as we will know 'how bad the material is' so therefore handle it and move it appropriately. The cost and time saving is immense as tents etc are very labour intensive. Saves on PCM waste also.
• We have an existing shortfall to introduce a piece of equipment to support TC samples and dilutions in south, this is to the same thing check for Pu, for the dilutions its to ensure the DF 1 (neat sample) doesn't end up in the FH.

This equipment will be used to support the removal of sample bottles that have we have no provenance or inventory of what these bottles contain (could contain Nuclear Material) or when these samples were manufactured? Some of these are in aging fumehoods/gloveboxes and we have to start to remove these so we can clear out the laboratories and move them out of operations and into surveillance and maintenance. The task is a key target for the next financial year, and we would like to use the funds that we have left in this years budget. This will get us off to a fast start in the new financial year. The equipment will need to be calibrated and number of other checks/commissioning that we need to do before we can use these items in the facility.
