Popis: Details and operating experience are presented for a rapid handling system designed to transfer irradiated solutions and liquids from irradiation containers to apparatus for subsequent chemical processing. The system described is the receiver station for a pneumatic tube which runs between the M.I.T. Reactor and adjoining Nuclear Chemistry Laboratories. Handling times as short as 2 sec are achieved with minimal manipulation and with safety to operating personnel. The transfer is accomplished by piercing the irradiation container with a needle assembly and drawing the liquid into an evacuated system.
