Automatic bagout system

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7137740

Nuclear material entrained wastes are generated at the Plutonium Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory. These wastes are removed from the glove box lines using the bagout method. This is a manual operation performed by technicians. An automated system is being developed to relieve the technicians from this task. The system will reduce the amount of accumulated radiation exposure to the worker. The primary components of the system consist of a six degree of freedom robot, a bag sealing device, and a small gantry robot. 1 ref., 5 figs.
