The experimental proton beam line at the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) is maintained remotely (because of high radiation levels) by a specially designed remote handling system called Monitor. The prototype Monitor unit was placed in service in 1976 to repair highly activated components in the LAMPF beam stop. Since that time, the Monitor system has been continually improved to keep pace with more complex maintenance tasks and ever-increasing radiation levels in the experimental areas. To ensure that the facility can be maintained on a timely basis, a second Monitor unit was commissioned in 1980. The improvements in the Monitor system and components have increased the efficiency of LAMPF's remote-maintenance operations by a factor of two. The technology developed has advanced to the state where it can be directly applied to other applications or industries that may potentially compromise health and/or safety of workers.
