The detail design for a Cropped Pin Transfer System (CPTS) has recently been completed. Fabrication is now in progress and long-lead embedded components have already been procured and installed in the Fuels and Materials Examination Facility (FMEF). The CPTS provides the capability to make alpha free transfers of irradiated cropped fuel pins and material specimens between the various FMEF Destructive Examination Cells and other on-site Hanford facilities. The CPTS is designed to meet stringent shielding and radioactive contamination containment criteria while at the same time making economical use of commercially available components.
