The Joint European Torus (JET) has employed advanced remote-maintenance techniques for over three decades to avoid exposing humans to a potentially hazardous environment and to develop techniques for future power-generating fusion reactors where environments will be too hazardous for any manned maintenance. As a unique application of robotics, virtual reality and operations management systems, JET's remote handling unit, now a part of RACE, has driven the state-of-the-art with each upgrade programme in its history. This conference paper presents the current capabilities of the JET remote handling system, and the future capabilities being delivered by its latest upgrade programme, which makes use of cutting edge advances. RACE (Remote Applications in Challenging Environments) aims to shape the technologies being developed for JET in such a way that they will have wider applications, such as in nuclear decommissioning.
