ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention related to a method for examining dry mate- rial, components of which may have a low level of radioactivity, to sort the radioactive components from the nonradioactive compo- nents. It comprises the steps of placing of material in a first detection station where radiation above a predetermined level can be detected and then removing the components from which the radi- ation is emanating. The remainder of the material is then con- veyed to a second detection station where means are provided for detecting radiation above a second predetermined level. The com- ponents of the material which is detected as having radiation which is a level above the second level is then removed. The remaining components are then placed in a container and the con- tainer is delivered to a third radiation detection station where radiation emanating from the container which is above a predeter- mined level is detected. If no radiation is detected as emanat- ing from the container then the container and the material there- in are disposed of as nonradioactive. - 13 -
