New chemical processing equipment for the production of transuranium elements is more reliable and easier to operate and maintain than the original equipment because of extensive modifications that have been made during ten years of operation. Several new types of devices for transferring the highly radioactive and corrosive fluids involved and for directing and controlling the transfers remotely have been incorporated into the new equipment.
