Shielded enclosures equipped with viewing devices and remote-hauling equipment for use in experiments and processes involving radioactivity are referred to as hot cells. The hot cell includes the biological shield enclosing the working space, viewing devices, special ventilating equipment, and special equipment for use in the hot cells, such as manipulators, cranes, machine tools, and measuriag devices. A hot cave is the same as a hot cell. A junior hot cave is a small-sized hot cave. A summary is presented of pertinent data on hot cells in use at various AEC installations. (C.H.)
