Use of remote-controlled machinery to reduce worker radiation exposure

The results of using remote-controlled machinery in the disassembly of loop facilities of the MR research reactor, which was decommissioned at the National Research Center Kurchatov Institute, are presented. The results of an examination of the loop channels of the reactor and the handling of high-l...

Description
Summary:The results of using remote-controlled machinery in the disassembly of loop facilities of the MR research reactor, which was decommissioned at the National Research Center Kurchatov Institute, are presented. The results of an examination of the loop channels of the reactor and the handling of high-level wastes during extraction, fragmentation and packaging are presented. Methods of remote diagnostics for measuring the activity distribution along a channel are proposed. Means for cutting channels and methods of lowering worker dose loads are presented.
