Accordingly, the moving member 22 of the drum holder 20 in which the waste drum 3 is stably held is gradually moved upward while being separated from the rotary table 56.

As such, the waste drum 3 is spaced apart from the rotary table 56 at an appropriate distance, and then lowered again as described above and lowered on the rotary table 56. Then, the waste drum is again subjected to the same process as described above. The weight of (3) and the surface radiation rates for the upper, middle, and lower parts of the waste drum (3) are sequentially measured.

That is, the waste drum 3 is removed from the rotary table 56 by the waste drum moving device 10, and then the weight of the waste drum 3 and the surface radiation rate for the waste drum 3 are measured again. The history of the waste drum (3) is compared with the measured result.

Thus, the waste drum 3, which has been finally measured, is moved to another place by another means of transportation and stored safely.

On the other hand, the rear of the first and second guide members 24 and 25 maintains an appropriate thickness and height, a shielding plate 98 of lead material is installed to protect the worker from radiation.
