TELEVISION INSPECTION CAMERA MOBILITY EXPERIMENTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4221152
The application of cloged-circuit television in the inspection of nuclear aircraft is under study at ConvairFort Worth. Previous testing demonstrated that televised viewing of aircraft components is a satisfactory substitute for normal viewing. A continuation of the experimental investigation of remote inspection is described. These tests were performed to resolve only the uncertainties connected with camera deployment. From a simulation of a shielded inspection vehicle cabs a man controlled the movement of a camera in maneuvers representative of aircraft remote-inspection motions. On different test setups the effect of changing the physical layout of the equipment was evaluated and an optimum arrangement of an inspection vehicle was determined. The objective was realized of ascertaining a configuration which does not require special skill in operation and which is relatively uncomplicated in construction. (auth)
