Abstract
A procedure for transferring an object along an axis, from a contaminated and radioactive zone to a clean zone without breaking the confinement when the zones are separated by a slab is disclosed. The slab contains a plug and the object can be secured to the plug with the use of a stationary pre-enclosure (43) equipped with two plugs (44 and 46) and of a movable transfer enclosure (47) equipped with one plug (48). The enclosure and pre-enclosure are placed in alignment with the transfer axis.
