JOWOG 39 manufacturing technology, Fourth annual SUBWOG-F robotics meeting minutes

Conference · Thu Nov 01 04:00:00 EST 1990

OSTI ID:721020

The Fourth Annual SUBWOG F Robotics Conference was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Albuquerque Convention Center. The Subwog group was welcomed by Dean Herrig, GE Neutron Devices (GEND), US Co-chairman and Ray Harrigan, SNLA, host for the conference. Mr. Dan Hartley, Vice-president of Energy Systems at SNLA gave an overview of SNLA and their function in the Department of Energy (DOE) Network. Domestic affairs were handled by Dean Herrig. No major personnel changes had occurred since the last meeting in 1988. Tight budgets are affecting robotic activities at all of the US sites and the UK. The terms of reference and objectives of SUBWOG F ROBOTICS were reviewed with no changes recommended. Site overviews were given by all sites represented. The impact of the DOE Environmental Health and Safety (ES&H) requirements has shifted emphasis to automated remote handling and inspection systems. All of the application papers were informative and interesting. Many of the papers showed commonalities of applications and problems among the sites. Time was available at end of meeting to identify, review and discuss achievements and to offer suggestions to improve future meetings and interchange of information. Individual reports are processed separately for the databases.
