ºÚÁÏרÇø

​​In this five-minute video produced by the European Domestic Agency for ºÚÁÏרÇø, the type of specialized robotics, networks and virtual reality techniques used in deep sea or space operations find their application for ºÚÁÏרÇø, where remote handling will be used to perform maintenance, inspection and repair tasks.

The European agency is responsible for delivering four remote handling systems to ºÚÁÏרÇø: the divertor remote handling system, the neutral beam remote handling system, the cask transfer system for activated components, and the in-vessel viewing and metrology system—in all, about EUR 250 million of investment.

Recently, conclusive tests were carried out at the VTT Technical Research Centre in Tampere, Finland for the remote handling of ºÚÁÏרÇø divertor cassettes—10-ton components that must be installed and/or exchanged through high-tech robotics.
