The activated (radioactive) elements (4) include two constituents having different magnetic characteristics. The first constituent has high activity and the second constituent substantially lower activity. The activated elements (4) are ground in order to obtain unit fragments, each consisting mainly of the first or the second component. Using magnetic means, the fragments consisting of the first constituent are separated and sent towards a first discharge and storage station (18, 19, 20) and the fragments consisting mainly of the second constituent are separated and sent towards a continuous handling means (21). Detection is carried out for fragments of the first constituent on the continuous handling means (21). The fragments deposited on the continuous handling means (21) are removed towards the second discharge and packaging station (24, 25, 26) in the event that no fragments of the first constituent are detected on the handling means (21). <IMAGE> |
