1. A method of replacing a cesium trap, the method comprising:freezing a first cesium trap at least partially containing cesium therein, wherein the first cesium trap is located within a shielded cell;decoupling the first cesium trap from the shielded cell, wherein decoupling the first cesium trap comprises remotely decoupling a cell anchor extending from the shielded cell from a trap anchor extending from the first cesium trap, and wherein remotely decoupling the cell anchor from the trap anchor comprises removing a connection member that couples the cell anchor extending from the shielded cell to the trap anchor extending from the first cesium trap;removing the first cesium trap from the shielded cell;inserting a second cesium trap into the shielded cell; andattaching the second cesium trap to the shielded cell. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein decoupling the first cesium trap further comprises at least one of:remotely decoupling the first cesium trap from a sodium processing circuit; andremotely disconnecting electrical power and instrument control attachments extending between the first cesium trap and the shielded cell. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein remotely decoupling the first cesium trap from a sodium processing circuit comprises:crimping at least one sodium line extending from the first cesium trap; andcutting the at least one sodium line adjacent the crimped portion such that a first portion of the at least one sodium line extends from a top portion of the first cesium trap and a second portion of the at least one sodium line remains part of the sodium processing circuit. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein remotely disconnecting electrical power and instrument control attachments comprises unplugging at least one of an electrical power attachment and an instrument control attachment from a corresponding receiver disposed on a top portion of the first cesium trap. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the connection member is at least one of a pin and a bolt. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein removing the first cesium trap comprises:releasably coupling the first cesium trap to a lifting tool; andlifting, via the lifting tool, the first cesium trap out of the shielded cell such that a base of the first cesium trap slidably disengages with at least one locating pin extending from a bottom of the shielded cell. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein lifting the first cesium trap separates a cooling line inlet extending from the first cesium trap from a fixed cooling line extending from the shielded cell. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein releasably coupling the first cesium trap to a lifting tool comprises rotating and lifting at least one hook of the lifting tool into a corresponding lifting eye disposed on the first cesium trap. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein inserting the second cesium trap comprises:releasably coupling the second cesium trap to a lifting tool, wherein the lifting tool includes at least one hook and the second cesium trap includes at least one corresponding lifting eye;placing, via the lifting tool, the second cesium trap into the shielded cell;aligning a base of the second cesium trap with at least one locating pin extending from a bottom of the shielded cell; andlowering the base of the second cesium trap onto the at least one locating pin. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein lowering the second cesium trap slidably couples a cooling line inlet extending from the second cesium trap to a fixed cooling line extending from the shielded cell. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein attaching the second cesium trap comprises at least one of:coupling a cell anchor extending from the shielded cell to a trap anchor extending from the second cesium trap forming at least one lateral support anchor extending between the first cesium trap and the shielded cell;welding at least one first sodium line extending from the second cesium trap to at least one second sodium line extending from a sodium processing circuit; andconnecting electrical power and instrument control attachments via plugging the attachments into a corresponding receiver disposed on a top portion of the second cesium trap. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the first cesium trap contains a predetermined amount of cesium and the second cesium trap contains no amount of cesium. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the shielded cell is an individualized shielded cell. 14. A method of replacing a cesium trap, the method comprising:freezing a first cesium trap at least partially containing cesium therein, wherein the first cesium trap is located within a shielded cell;decoupling the first cesium trap from the shielded cell;removing the first cesium trap from the shielded cell, wherein removing the first cesium trap comprises:releasably coupling the first cesium trap to a lifting tool; andlifting, via the lifting tool, the first cesium trap out of the shielded cell such that a base of the first cesium trap slidably disengages with at least one locating pin extending from a bottom of the shielded cell, wherein lifting the first cesium trap separates a cooling line inlet extending from the first cesium trap from a fixed cooling line extending from the shielded cell;inserting a second cesium trap into the shielded cell; andattaching the second cesium trap to the shielded cell. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein decoupling the first cesium trap comprises at least one of:remotely decoupling a cell anchor extending from the shielded cell from a trap anchor extending from the first cesium trap;remotely decoupling the first cesium trap from a sodium processing circuit; andremotely disconnecting electrical power and instrument control attachments extending between the first cesium trap and the shielded cell. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein remotely decoupling the cell anchor from the trap anchor comprises removing a connection member that couples the cell anchor extending from the shielded cell to the trap anchor extending from the first cesium trap. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the connection member is at least one of a pin and a bolt. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein remotely decoupling the first cesium trap from a sodium processing circuit comprises:crimping at least one sodium line extending from the first cesium trap; andcutting the at least one sodium line adjacent the crimped portion such that a first portion of the at least one sodium line extends from a top portion of the first cesium trap and a second portion of the at least one sodium line remains part of the sodium processing circuit. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein remotely disconnecting electrical power and instrument control attachments comprises unplugging at least one of an electrical power attachment and an instrument control attachment from a corresponding receiver disposed on a top portion of the first cesium trap. 20. The method of claim 14, wherein releasably coupling the first cesium trap to a lifting tool comprises rotating and lifting at least one hook of the lifting tool into a corresponding lifting eye disposed on the first cesium trap. 21. The method of claim 14, wherein inserting the second cesium trap comprises:releasably coupling the second cesium trap to a lifting tool, wherein the lifting tool includes at least one hook and the second cesium trap includes at least one corresponding lifting eye;placing, via the lifting tool, the second cesium trap into the shielded cell;aligning a base of the second cesium trap with at least one locating pin extending from a bottom of the shielded cell; andlowering the base of the second cesium trap onto the at least one locating pin. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein lowering the second cesium trap slidably couples a cooling line inlet extending from the second cesium trap to a fixed cooling line extending from the shielded cell. 23. The method of claim 14, wherein attaching the second cesium trap comprises at least one of:coupling a cell anchor extending from the shielded cell to a trap anchor extending from the second cesium trap forming at least one lateral support anchor extending between the first cesium trap and the shielded cell;welding at least one first sodium line extending from the second cesium trap to at least one second sodium line extending from a sodium processing circuit; andconnecting electrical power and instrument control attachments via plugging the attachments into a corresponding receiver disposed on a top portion of the second cesium trap. 24.
