OSTI ID:6499955
The Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) Interim Examination and Maintenance (IEM) Cell is used for the remote disassembly of irradiated fuel and material experiments. Materials Open-Test Assemblies (MOTA) are brought to the IEM Cell where their outer ducts are removed, exposing the test train for material-specimen removal. The specimens are shipped to the materials laboratory for sorting. Some are selected for testing while the rest, along with new specimens, are loaded in new specimen holders and returned within ten days to the IEM Cell where they are placed in the test train of new MOTA vehicles. Installation of the outer ducts readies the MOTA's for further specimen irradiation. This presentation discusses remote equipment and techniques used in this process. 11 figs.
