Manipulator-deployed Systems for Surface Decontamination in Nuclear Facilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to the phasing out of nuclear energy in Germany there are a growing number of nuclear facilities that have to be decommissioned within the next years. In this context a multitude of surfaces in nuclear facilities have to be decontaminated. Manipulator-deployed systems offer a suitable solution and are properly designed for this kind of task. Beyond that they can be used for the processing of surfaces in civil as well as industrial fields of application, e.g. the stripping of coatings on metal surfaces. By the use of a suitable supporting system various attachments like a milling machine or laser can be carried and operated on walls and ceilings. Vacuum suction plates guarantee the interconnection between the supporting system and the object to be treated. Due to the intricate processes as well as the required flexibility arising from the multi purpose use with milling or laser attachments a robust control system with a high performance and a high level of customization is required. The following article introduces to you the systems in detail.

Robots and remote systems will play crucial roles in future decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) of nuclear facilities. Many of these facilities, such as uranium enrichment plants, weapons assembly plants, research and production reactors, and fuel recycling facilities, are dormant; there is also an increasing number of commercial reactors whose useful lifetime is nearly over. To reduce wo...

Introduction: Various iodine isotopes are undergoing radioactive decay except Iodine-127 (I-127. Iodine I-131 is unsealed radioactive material used in nuclear medicine for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in Royal Hospital since 2006. In radiotoxic classification, I-131 is in group 2 element. I-131 is highly reactive element due to its volatilization nature. Currently...
