Remote operation and automation of the maintenance works under the radiation field

Abstract

More than ninety per cent of the personnel radiation exposure at the nuclear power station is attributable to the maintenance works during the plant shutdown. The maintenance robots have effectively contributed in reducing the annual inspection and refueling schedule and the personnel radiation exposure. Future prospects of robotics depend on the grade of development in robot technology and plant engineering itself to accommodate such robot tools, since plant facilities and maintenance procedure today is difficult to replace with machines due to their diversified and complex nature.
