The FED Remote Maintenance Equipment Workshop was held to establish the characteristics of major remote equipment items, and this was done during the first session which was held in January, 1981. A list of general purpose and special purpose equipment was established. The second session, held in March, developed more detailed concepts for maintenance of specific reactor components. The details of an investigation into neutral beam injector remote handling are presented herein. The baseline concept for FED auxiliary heating uses radio frequency waves: electron cyclotron resonance heating for plasma formation and ion cyclotron resonance heating for additional heating to ignition temperature. The alternate concept uses neutral beam injection for ignition heating.
