The Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) of the Los Alamos National Laboratory was requested to do a demonstration to assess the suitability system for the remote maintenance of the Hot Experimental Facility (HEF). The HEF is a proposed fuel-processing plant in conceptual design by the Consolidated Fuel-Processing Program of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The remote-maintenance demonstration was done in 1980 on a chemical-processing module model furnished by ORNL. The LAMPF remote-handling system (Monitor) uses advanced electric master-slave manipulators and an electrohydraulic positioning system with viewing by television only. The results of the demonstration show that the LAMPF-type remote-handling system, in conjunction with a radio-controlled crane, can maintain a facility that is similar to the model used.
