Abstract: A carrier for an irradiated target includes a first portion and a second portion having inner walls. One or both of the first and second portions has a recess extending inwardly from the inner wall thereof to receive the irradiated target. The first and second portions are removably attachable in sealing engagement. The inner walls face each other and form a barrier around the recess upon the first and second portions being removably attached. A fastening system provided on one or both of the first and second portions maintains the first and second portions in sealing engagement. There is also disclosed a kit of the carrier and the irradiated target, a dissolution system for producing a solution from the irradiated target, and a corresponding method.

Abstract: A security apparatus and gate for a vertical baler has a perimeter security barrier formed as a pivotable U-shaped bar adapted to be connected to opposite side walls of the baler and used to block a user from moving too close to the baler when ejecting a bale therefrom, and an operator safety gate adapted to be pivotally connected to one side wall of the vertical baler and overlaping an ejection gate of the vertical baler and used to prevent the ejection gate from pivoting to an open position, such that the baler cannot eject a bale therefrom until the operator safety gate is pivoted into an open position allowing the ejection gate to be pivoted to an open position and the perimeter security barrier is pivoted into a blocking position.
