Landsman, S D

Techniques developed for disposing of high-level waste from a hot cell proved to be highly successful in reducing the radiation exposure of the workers involved. The people responsible for developing these techniques were primarily from the radiation protection profession. This paper describes the problems encountered and solutions developed during the 9-month period of this operation.
