17. HL: CONSOLIDATING AND UPGRADING THE LHC
Prof. Lucio Rossi (CERN)
06/05/2013, 09:10
The LHC requires a number of measures and interventions that will enable it to run continuously at its maximum performance with reasonable availability. The interventions and equipment replacement will be designed to improve when possible peak performance and machine availability, which both concurs to integrated luminosity, and to increase flexibility and ease of repair and maintenance, an...
2. An overview of PURESAFE outcomes
Keith Kershaw (CERN), Pierre Bonnal (CERN)
06/05/2013, 09:30
PURESAFE is a EU funded project (Marie Curie Actions Initial Training Network) coordinated by Tampere University of Technology for which CERN is one of the eight partners. Through 15 applied research projects, this training network aims to develop means—systems engineering processes, telerobotic hardware and software solutions—to prevent or optimise human intervention in scientific facilities...
15. ROBOTIC INTERVENTIONS: THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE USERS
Roberto Losito (CERN)
06/05/2013, 09:50
The EN/STI group started some years ago to look into remote handling solutions for interventions in several target and collimator areas. In the present talk, an overview of the motivation and of the investigations for what is available on the market are presented, together with an outline of the good and bad surprises we went through during this exercise. A long term strategy has been...
7. AUGMENTED REALITY IN ATLAS PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVES
Olga Beltramello (CERN)
06/05/2013, 10:30
The increase of the environmental doses in the coming years will directly impact the personnel safety and the conditions of access and work inside the experiments . In order to guaranty the highest level of safety for the intervening personnel for the future shutdowns, the ATLAS technical coordination safety group is developing an upgrade safety program running in several complementary...
6. VISUALISATION TOOL FOR OPTIMISATION OF RADIATION AREA INTERVENTIONS
Thomas Fabry (CERN)
06/05/2013, 11:00
A visualisation tool and methodology to help optimise interventions in radiation areas at CERN is currently being developed within EN-HE in collaboration with DGS-RP as part of the EU-funded PURESAFE Marie Curie Initial Training Network. The tool aims to merge radiation maps from FLUKA simulations and radiation measurement results with 3-D integration models such as CATIA, providing on-screen...
10. ISOLDE ROBOT
Jean-Louis Grenard (CERN)
06/05/2013, 11:20
A project is currently underway to provide a new robot system to handle radioactive targets in the ISOLDE target area. EN-HE in collaboration with EN-STI and EN-ICE will provide a turn-key system including maintenance and support to the ISOLDE operations team. Key aims for the new system are to reduce radiation dose to personnel during operation and installation of the system, as well as to...
13. REMOTELY OPERATED COLLIMATOR EXCHANGE VEHICLE
Jean-Louis Grenard (CERN)
06/05/2013, 11:40
After LS1, radiation levels in collimation areas (mainly IR3 and IR7) will rise to levels that will require long decay times before interventions by humans. Collimators have been designed not to be serviced in situ but rather to be easily exchangeable, therefore in case of serious issues with a collimator the LHC will be stopped for the replacement of the faulty collimator. In accordance with...
14. FUTURE REMOTE HANDLING AT CMS

9. A REMOTELY OPERATED MEASUREMENT AND INSPECTION TRAIN: TIM
Bruno Feral (CERN)
06/05/2013, 13:40
A remotely operated measurement and inspection train, ‘TIM,” has been developed by EN-HE for use in the LHC tunnel. The train runs underneath the monorail I-beam suspended from the tunnel ceiling; it can carry out remote visual inspections with pan-tilt-zoom cameras and remote measurements of radiation levels, temperature and oxygen concentrations along the tunnel. Work is currently underway...
11. REMOTE OVERHEAD TRAVELLING CRANE OPERATION & XTAX TABLE REPAIR: A LARGE-SCALE & REMOTE-CONTROLLED EXERCISE @ CERN
Keith Kershaw (CERN), Sebastien Evrard (CERN)
06/05/2013, 14:00
Remote techniques have been applied to some existing overhead travelling cranes in experimental areas in order to reduce radiation doses to personnel during decommissioning and repair operations. The presentation will describe the work carried out by EN-HE in collaboration with EN-MEF and EN-STI for two cases (dismantling of a redundant facility and repair of heavy radioactive assemblies)...
12. REMOTE INSPECTION VEHICLE
Ramon Folch (CERN)
06/05/2013, 14:30
In 2012 EN-STI in collaboration with EN-HE purchased a Telemax remotely operated vehicle produced by Telerob GmbH. The vehicle is equipped with a manipulator arm and cameras. It is controlled by an operator via a portable control station. The vehicle was purchased to carry out visual inspection in radioactive areas at CERN along with interventions requiring manipulation tasks such as handling...
8. REMOTE SURVEY OPERATIONS
Patrick Bestmann (CERN)
06/05/2013, 14:50
Since several years and following the ALARA recommendations, the SU team has developed specific systems to prevent its staff to be exposed to high radioactive doses when measuring the position or realigning some LHC components. Around the low beta quadrupoles, a permanent monitoring system as well as a remote adjustment system have been developed allowing the measurements and the readjustment...
0. ATLAS VT Sliding Support motorization
Kaan Vatansever (CERN), Pedro Noguera Crespo
06/05/2013, 15:10
The increasing radiation levels in the ATLAS experiment and hence the radiation dose seen by the personnel during maintenance poses a new challenge to the design of components within highly radiated areas. During opening scenarios and the removal of chambers, the ATLAS VT Sliding Support, among other supports, must be retracted manually by the means of turning threaded bars which are connected...
