Design Guidance for Typical Systems

Typical remote handling systems and equipment include:

CCTV ( Closed Circuit television )

Electro-Mechanical Manipulator

Cranes

Master Slave manipulators

Remote ("Hanford") Connector System

Specialized Tools (Reach Rods etc.)

Robots

Descriptions and design guidance for each type follows.

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)

Closed circuit TV is generally used to monitor the remotely performed handling and operations

activities. The CCTV equipment should meet the electrical performance standards for monochrome

television studio facilities EIA Standard EIA-170-57 Electrical Performance Standards -

Monochrome Television Studio Facilities (Nov., 1957) and EIA Standard IETNTS1 Color Television

Studio Picture Line Amplifier Output Drawing (Nov., 1977) (Partial Revision of EIA-170). CCTV

electrical wiring should be in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.

The radiation hardness of the required CCTV system is a function of the particular application, with

significant cost and complexity advantages to the non radiation hardened systems, when they are

applicable. Each application should define its realistic radiation hardness needs.

Electro Mechanical Manipulator

Design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of Electro-Mechanical Manipulator (EMM) should comply

with the requirements of following codes and standards:

Controls

NEMA ICS 1-1993 Industrial Control and Systems: General Requirements

NEMA ICS 2 through ICS 10 Industrial Control and Systems

Electrical

NFPA 70 National Electrical Code 1993 Edition
