Robotics and Remote Handling Technology in the Indian nuclear fuel cycle
05 Oct 2012 09:30-11:00
Automation and remote handling with robotic technology play a crucial role in almost all facets of nuclear fuel cycle viz, fuel fabrication, post-irradiation examination (PIE), in-service inspection (ISI) of plants and components using non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques, fuel reprocessing and waste management and last but not the least for decommissioning of nuclear plants. The advancements in this area have been due to various necessities unique to nuclear industry, to reduce the radiation exposure during handling operations, technologies required to facilitate remote inspection at inaccessible areas of nuclear reactor or
nuclear plants or to facilitate remote repair/refurbishments of operating plants.
The talk will cover in short the salient aspects of the Indian nuclear fuel cycle, the current status of developments of robotics & automation in the nuclear energy programme and various short term and long term R&D goals and strategies to achieve the same.
