The remote dismantling of the Windscale pile chimneys
Description
The two Windscale Pile Chimneys are being substantially dismantled to ensure their future structural stability. Radiation dose rates dictate that most of the work at No. 1 Chimney shall be carried out remotely. Lower radiation dose rates at No. 2 Chimney still require the use of some remote equipment to meet the ALARP principle. However this Chimney provides an ideal test facility for techniques which will be developed and transferred to No. 1. (author)
