The visual examination machine (VEM) for the Hot Fuel Examination Facility/North (HFEF/N) provides a sophisticated method for visually and photographically inspecting irradiated LMFBR fuel elements and capsules. The components of the VEM are an element-positioning stage, an advanced-design hot cell periscope, and a lighting system. These components eliminate the difficult master-slave manipulations formerly required at the HFEF for this examination and have the capability to completely control element positioning in a precise manner for improved,high-magnification viewing and photography. Incorporated into the design of the equipment were provisions for converting the VEM to a computer- controlled system that uses a videotape data record.
