Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and methods for deactivating an alkali metal device. In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a deactivation container comprising a container body defining a cavity configured to receive a device comprising an alkali metal, the cavity containing an alkali metal reactant or an alkali metal solubilizer, a lid coupled to the container body and partially received in the cavity in a closed position, the lid comprising a pressure relief mechanism to release gas from a top of the deactivation container during a deactivation process, and a support configured to maintain the deactivation container in an upright position during the deactivation process.

Abstract: This system includes a base unit having an array of data storage locations mounted in a rectangular form factor along a back wall of the housing and at least one read/write device. The robotic mechanism includes a stationary vertical shaft on which is mounted on a horizontal track, movable in the vertical direction. The horizontal track extends from end to end of the base unit housing. The robotic mechanism includes a rotatable gripper that moves on the horizontal track and swivels on a pivot about an axis that is parallel to the vertical shaft to provide access to all interior surfaces of the base unit housing where data storage locations reside. An expansion module, comprising a rotary carousel of data storage locations, can be connected to either end of the base unit which enables the robotic mechanism to access the data storage elements within the expansion module without modification.
