Description

A reactor fuel handling machine that exchanges the reactor fuels in a pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR) as a normal operation has a manual manipulator to drive the machine in an emergency situation such as stucking of the automatic driving system. However, when the reactor is on operation, the workers cannot approach to the manual manipulator, which prevents the normalization of the operation. This paper presents a remote controlled robot for driving the reactor fuel handling machine manually. The robot is composed of a manipulator for driving the RAM and clutch driver, the mast mechanism for the robot to reach the manual manipulator, remote camera, and control systems, and so on
