Increased emphasis on lowering personnel radiation exposures to as low as reasonably achievable and on containment of radioactive materials influenced a special emphasis on remotely operated sampling systems for the New Waste Calcining Facility (NWCF). Work done by Allied Chemical Corporation in designing and testing remote solid, liquid, and gas sampling systems for the NWCF is described. Work also included a transfer system for transferring samples to an analytical facility. Remote maintenance capabilities were designed into the system so that any failure-prone component or subassembly could be remotely removed and replaced.
