6C31/C
- NDS Contact Handled ILW
RIPPLE (Radio Isotope Powered Prolonged Life Equipment) generators numbers I-X. These were 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.

6C32
- NDS Remote Handled ILW
The waste arises from industry, research laboratories, educational establishments, institutes and hospitals - originally via the National Disposal Service. Newer arisings were consigned via 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.

6N03
- Reflectors
Beryllium reflects a neutron beam and this allows the beam from the tungsten target to be directed and focused.

6N05
- Copper
Large electro-magnet windings, bus bars and cables used at RAL in the ISIS neutron spallation source (currently running) and its predecessor, Nimrod (closed in 1978). Note: electrical insulation but no asbestos.
