Description

The Remote Retrieval and Handling Facility (RRHF) project is part of the Waste Accumulation Reduction Programme (WARP) which is in place to manage the accumulation of radioactive waste from legacy facilities and current ISIS Neutron and Muon Source (ISIS) operations at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). This radioactive waste needs to be safely managed and disposed of in compliance with legislation and government policy. In response to this requirement, STFC needs to develop the capability in terms of facilities, techniques, staff competence and external stakeholder agreements to reduce this backlog and sustainably manage radioactive wastes from current and future activities. The RRHF will be a specialist facility which will allow handling of radioactive waste, primarily in preparation for disposal, but also facilitating sampling, size reduction, Post Irradiation Examination (PIE), maintenance and other tasks involving radioactive materials.
