Abstract

The Universal Delivery Machine (UDM) is a new CANDU reactor maintenance tool that allows safe, timely, and cost-effective inspection and maintenance of fuel channels. The UDM must align precisely with reactor end-fittings in order to clamp onto fuel channels without applying excessive force. This alignment process is called fine homing. This paper describes the UDM instrumentation and control design features used in the fine homing process. (author)
