The ANTECH Universal Drum Assay and Segregation System (UDASS) is currently characterising legacy waste drums at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), New Mexico, USA. The objective of the trial is to evaluate the benefits of using the greater sensitivity of the UDASS to deliver improved categorisation of the historic drums into low-level waste (LLW) and transuranic waste (TRU) to optimise the disposition of these wastes.
