6C31/C - NDS Contact Handled ILW
RIPPLE (Radio Isotope Powered Prolonged Life Equipment) generator number X. This was used for the production of Sr90 titanate sources to power navigation buoy lights and radio-direction equipment. Large teletherapy sources and blood irradiator used in the medical sector and collected by the National Disposal Service and latterly Safeguard International

6N01 - Neutron Targets
ISIS is a government-funded, working pulsed neutron spallation source which provides neutron (and muon) beams for research work. The neutrons are produced by bombarding a tantalum-clad tungsten target with protons. This waste stream is the waste neutron spallation targets from both of the ISIS target stations.

6N02 - Moderators
Moderators alter the neutron spectrum coming from the tungsten target to meet beam-line science requirements.
