DEVICE FOR TREATING MATERIALS
Test-hole construction in a reactor to facilitate inserting and removing test specimens from the reactor for irradiation therein is discussed. An elongated chamber extends from the outer face of the reactor shield into the reactor. A shield box, having an open end, is sealed to thc outer face of the reactor shield by its open end surrounding the outer end of the chamber. A removable door is provided in the side wall of the shield box for inscrtion and removal of test specimens. A means operable from thc exterior of the shield box is provided for transferring test specimens between the shield box and the irradiation position within the chamber and consists of an elongated rod having a specimen tray engaging member on its inner end, which may be manipulated by the operator.
