Rocky Flats Advanced Size Reduction Facility
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6168323
An Advanced Size Reduction Facility (ASRF) at Rocky Flats is now in the construction phase. The facility will be used to section plutonium contaminated gloveboxes and miscellaneous equipment to a size which can be easily handled and disposed of in approved waste containers. Central Research System 50 Master/Slave Manipulators and Programmedand Remote (PaR) manipulators will be utilized to remotely strip the gloveboxes and miscellaneous equipment of removable components and appendages. A plasma arc torch handled by a wall mounted PaR model 3000 manipulator will size reduce the glovebox to the desired sizes. The nominal capacity of the facility will allow processing of one glovebox (< 6 ft x 8 ft x 10 ft in dimensions) per eight hour shift, resulting in a greater than 50% reduction of waste shipping volume. 2 figures.
