A remotely operated sysetm was designed for the remote handling of LANL`s transuranic wastes (RH-TRU). The authors have transported 18 canisters filled with RH-TRU to our waste storage facility at TA-54 and placed them in interim storage silos. This is {approx}54 m{sup 3} of RH-TRU waste. This is an excellent technique for handling RH-TRU, and we are working with other groups at LANL to use our system for removing their waste.
