ADAPTATION OF AN EXISTING AIR TIGHT AND MODULAR WORKSHOP FOR REMOTE OPERATION

Ziel

A MODULAR WORKSHOP FOR THE DISMANTLING OF LOW-LEVEL AND MEDIUM-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND RUN SUCCESSFULLY FOR SOME TIME IN THE LA HAGUE CENTRE. IT IS USED AS AN INDEPENDENT MOBILE DISMANTLING CELL RECEIVING THE EQUIPMENT TO BE DISMANTLED VIA A SAFETY LOCK, WITH OPERATORS WORKING INSIDE THE CELL IN FROGMAN SUITS.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PRESENT WORK IS TO MODIFY THE EXISTING DESIGN OF THE MODULAR WORKSHOP INTO A DISMANTLING CELL FOR HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE EQUIPMENT WITH OPERATORS WORKING OUTSIDE BY TELEMANIPULATORS.

THE WORK CONSISTS MAINLY IN THE DEVELOPMENT, FABRICATION AND TESTING OF FOLLOWING COMPONENTS :

- PANELS FOR SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS SUCH AS SUPPORTS FOR VARIOUS TELEMANIPULATORS AND TRANSFER LOCKS.
- AN AIR-TIGHT TRANSPORT CASK FOR MAINTENANCE OF IMPORTANT EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUMENTATION, OUTSIDE THE WORKSHOP.
- AN EFFICIENT SYSTEM FOR BIOLOGICAL PROTECTION.

B.1. CONCEPTION AND PREPARATION OF PRELIMINARY DESIGNS OF PROTOTYPE COMPONENTS.

B.2. PREPARATION OF FINAL DESIGNS, MANUFACTURING AND COMMISSIONING TESTING OF PROTOTYPES ON THE SITE OF FABRICATION.

B.3. MOUNTING OF THE NEW COMPONENTS ON THE CELL AND QUALIFICATION TESTING OF THE WHOLE.

B.4. CONCLUSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE FUNCTIONING OF THE NEWLY DEVELOPED COMPONENTS IN THE DISMANTLING WORKSHOP FOR REMOTE OPERATION.
