Title: Robotics and Automation Activities at the Savannah River Site: A Site Report for SUBWOG 39F

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/113808· OSTI ID:113808

The Savannah River Site has successfully used robots, teleoperators, and remote video to reduce exposure to ionizing radiation, improve worker safety, and improve the quality of operations. Previous reports have described the use of mobile teleoperators in coping with a high level liquid waste spill, the removal of highly contaminated equipment, and the inspection of nuclear reactor vessels. This report will cover recent applications at the Savannah River, as well as systems which SRS has delivered to other DOE site customers.
