Description

The two dissolvers installed in the Tokai Reprocessing Plant had failed occurred successively in 1982 and 1983. Then, remote-controlled equipment for repair and inspection has been developed because the dissolvers were installed under the high radiation condition and cannot access easily. After repair of the dissolvers, the periodic inspection by remoteness is periodically carried out once per year for soundness confirmation of the vessels. Moreover, the remote inspection equipment for periodic inspection was developed, which time required for inspection is too short compared with former equipment. (author)
