ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus is provided for filtering radioactive particles from the cooling and/or auxiliary process water of a nuclear reactor, or nuclear fuel processing plant, or other installations wherein radioactive fluid systems are known to exist. The apparatus affords disposal of the captured particles in a manner which minimizes the exposure of operating personnel to radio- activity. The apparatus comprises a housing adapted to contain a removable filter cartridge assembly, a valve normally closing the lower end of the housing, an upwardly-open shipping cask located below the valve, and an elongated operating rod assembly projecting upwardly from the filter cartridge assembly and through the upper end of the housing to enable a workman to dis- mount the filter cartridge assembly from its housing and to lower the filter cartridge assembly through the valve and into the cask from a remote location above the housing. The filter cartridge assembly is releasably connected to the operating rod assembly and is capable of being disconnected therefrom when the operating rod assembly is displaced downwardly and rotated after the car- tridge is loaded in the cask. The apparatus is surrounded by a mass of concrete to absorb radiation emitted from within the filter housing, and additional structural elements are provided to ensure the safety of operating personnel.
