Techniques, apparatus and systems that use one or more composite left and right handed metamaterial structures in processing and handling electromagnetic wave signals. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of supplying oxalic acid to the nuclear waste on the component to form an oxalic acidwaste solution, feeding the oxalic acidwaste solution from the component, feeding an oxidant to the oxalic acidwaste solution to form carbon-dioxide, water and a precipitate, and separating the precipitate from the water. This execution approach provides support for an isolated environment for business process execution. A forming device adjacent an end of the can in which the solid particulates are located may include at least one protrusion extending into the bore.
