Section: claims

1. Apparatus for supporting at least one contactor stage for removing radioactive materials from aqueous solutions, the contactor stage having a housing, a rotor in the housing, a motor secured to the top of the housing for turning the rotor, and a drain in the bottom of the housing, said apparatus comprising a tubular, rectangular frame member having substantially flat, spaced top and bottom surfaces separated by substantially vertical side surfaces, said top and bottom surfaces each having an opening through which the housing may be placed,  means for supporting said frame without substantially obstructing access to the contactor drain from three sides of the contactor stage, and  means for securing said housing to said frame member,  whereby the contactor stage is secured in a stable manner without obstructing access to the contactor drain.  a tubular, rectangular frame member having substantially flat, spaced top and bottom surfaces separated by substantially vertical side surfaces, said top and bottom surfaces each having a separate opening through which each housing may be placed,  means for supporting said frame without substantially obstructing access to the contactor drains from three sides of the contactors, and  means for securing said housings to said frame member,  whereby the contactors are secured in a stable manner without obstructing access to the contactor drains. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said frame supporting means comprises at least two horizontal footers placed on a ground surface perpendicular to the frame, one vertical leg extending to each footer, and a brace securing each footer to each leg. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said means for securing said housing comprises a weld. 4. Apparatus for supporting a plurality of contactor stages for removing radioactive materials from aqueous solutions, the contactor stages being arranged in a substantially straight row, each of the contactor stages having a housing, a rotor in the housing, a motor secured to the top of the housing for turning the rotor, a drain in the bottom of the housing, a plurality of first interconnect pipes for placing a first solution containing radioactive materials in the housing and removing solution containing radioactive materials from the housing, and a plurality of second embodiment pipes for placing a second solution containing organic materials in the housing and removing solution containing organic materials from the housing, said apparatus comprising 5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said frame supporting means comprises a series of horizontal footers placed on a ground surface perpendicular to the frame, a vertical leg extending from each of said footers, and a plurality of braces secured to said footers and said legs. 6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said legs extend below the first and second interconnect pipes. 7. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said means for securing said housing comprises a weld.
