Remote handling systems at the Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant: an overview
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5748608
Facility design of the Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant incorporates a combination of remote and contact-maintenance systems. Several unique concepts were employed in the remote-systems design to assure minimal radiation exposure to personnel and operational efficiency. Extensive checkout has been conducted to assess the performance of underwater handling, sampling, hot cell, and specially shielded transfer equipment. Innovative solutions to remoting deficiencies have been applied to enhance plant operating capability.
