[en] Two systems for studying the decay properties of short-lived fission products are in various stages of development at the INEL. An Isotope Separator ''On-line'' System (ISOL) utilizes the gas-jet technique to transport fission products from an ''open'' ²⁵²Cf fission source to the ion source of the isotope separator. A complementary system for these fission product studies utilizes the gas jet technique to transport fission products from an ''open'' ²⁵²Cf fission-source to fast radiochemistry apparatus which provides chemically pure sources for nuclear radiation measurements. Central to both of these systems is the development of the capabilities and facilities for handling and storing sizable quantities of ²⁵²Cf. The article presents a summary description of the design of a shielded cell facility for storing and handling, remotely, up to 2 mg of ²⁵²Cf. Title II design for this facility is nearly completed and the shielded cell will be fabricated and installed, during the coming fiscal year, in room 124 of Building MTR-661 at the Test Reactor Area of the INEL
