Abstract
A device for disposing of a contaminated suction tube connected to a storage container for glass-enclosed radioactive waste material by inserting the tube in the container for ultimate disposal with the container. The device consists of a metal sleeve that is mounted on the bottom wall of the container and extends upwardly into the container and an inner tube which slides in the sleeve. The suction tube is connected to the lower end of the inner tube. Detachable connecting means, such as solder, fixes the inner tube and hence the suction tube to the sleeve until the glass filling operation is over. At this point the solder melts and the suction tube and inner tube are free to be inserted into the container by sliding the inner tube upwardly in the sleeve.
