Remote Maintenance Experimental Work on a Reactor System Pump

Description: An experimentally determined evaluation of standardremote-handling equipment applied to the problems associated with remote maintenance of a typical reactor system component is presented It is comcluded that commercially available equipment can be used and that a good techmician can rapidly learn the use of manipulators required in remote maintenance. The use of closed circuit television in maintenance is possible; however, further development of radiation- resistant equipment is required. (j.R… more

A study of Columbia River surveillance by closed circuit television

Description: Current Practice -- A patrolman observes river traffic 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from a 50 foot enclosed tower located on the bank of the river. Under normal daylight conditions the opposite shore line and bluffs (2,000`) and approximately three miles both up and down the river can be seen by naked eye with close up identification obtained through use of field glasses. For night time operation a manually operated searchlight is used to sweep the river for moving or floating objects. Pr… more

Quarterly Status Report on LAMPRE Program for Period Ending May 20, 1962

Description: During the report period 110 Mw-hr of operation were completed by LAMPRE I at various power levels, and observations were made of control element performance and reactivity losses. Metallographic examination of a Core I capsule having 120 Mw-hr of irradiation exposure disclosed no major attack. Core II utilizes Ta alloy melts and 13 fuel melts. Starting materials for Core II capsules are tabulated. In research and development a gamma-ray conversion television was used to observe the flow of mol… more

Design requirements and performance requirements for reactor fuel recycle manipulator systems

Description: The development of a new generation of remote handling devices for remote production work in support of reactor fuel recycle systems is discussed. These devices require greater mobility, speed and visual capability than remote handling systems used in research activities. An upgraded manipulator system proposed for a High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor fuel refabrication facility is described. Design and performance criteria for the manipulators, cranes, and TV cameras in the proposed system ar… more

Monitoring sinusoidal vibration environments with a television system

Description: The development and prove-in work of this experiment established a technology for using television equipment to monitor hybrid microcircuits and other miniature assemblies in sinusoidal vibration environments. Production assemblies were run through sine vibration test sequences with television systems used to monitor the sequences. During the experiment different television lens systems were tried to obtain clean, sharp, highly magnified pictures of the assemblies being monitored. Successful mo… more

Closed circuit television welding alignment system

Description: Closed circuit television (CCTV) weld targeting systems were developed to provide accurate and repeatable positioning of the electrode of an electronic arc welder with respect to the parts being joined. A sliding mirror electrode holder was developed for use with closed circuit television equipment on existing weld fixturing. A complete motorized CCTV weld alignment system was developed to provide weld targeting for even the most critical positioning requirements.

Flow observation by rod lens and low-light video (videotape script: January 4, 1977)

Description: The script of a demonstration videotape made to show the possibilities of coupling rod lenses to low-light video systems to observe internal flow conditions is presented. The illustrations accompanying the text were photographed directly from the video screen. Some up-dated comments appear as footnotes to the original script and a description of the multiscan low-light television system developed to measure velocity is included in the epilogue. The combination of rod lens and low-light video sy… more

Neutron diffraction tomography: a unique, 3D inspection technique for crystals using an intensifier TV system

Description: The application of phosphor-intensifier-TV techniques to neutron topography and tomography of crystals is described. The older, analogous x-ray topography using wavelengths approximately 1.5A is widely used for surface inspection. However, the crystal must actually be cut in order to see diffraction anomalies beneath the surface. Because 1.5-A thermal neutrons are highly penetrating, much larger and thicker specimens can be used. Also, since neutrons have magnetic moments, they are diffracted b… more

Sensor application survey. Technical report, task 1

Description: Task 1 is a survey of well logging instrumentation undertaken to determine to what extent various tools can make use of severe environment acoustic sensor technology. The major goal was to establish the most appropriate tool for Task 2-Sensor Development and Optimization. Subject tools are borehole televiewer (BHTV), acoustic caliper, acoustic velocity logger, down hole flow meter (DHFM), and passive listening monitor. This report describes the investigation of tool capabilities, applications, … more

Selection of the reference concept for the surface examination stations in the fuels and materials examination facility

Description: The prototype surface examination station for the Fuels and Materials Examination Facility (FMEF) will use closed circuit television (CCTV) for routine modes of operation along with a nuclear periscope for special examination needs. The CCTV and the nuclear periscope were evaluated against prescribed station requirements and compared in a side-by-side demonstration. A quantitative evaluation of their outputs showed that both systems were capable of meeting surface anomaly detection requirements… more
