The Remote Maintenance Development Facility (RMDF) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) was installed and used extensively for full-scale development, mockup and testing of remote maintenance requirements for the New Waste Calcining Facility (NWCF). By performing remote handling tests, the NWCF handling concepts, techniques and remote capabilities were proven workable prior to construction. Presented in this paper is a description of the RMDF and its purpose, functions, and handling capabilities as they were used in support of the NWCF.
