Description
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 increase available operation time for ISOLDE.
The presentation will describe the project approach followed including radiological and risk analysis; 3-D CAD integration and trajectory simulation; robot modification for radiation tolerance; mock-up trials; installation and commissioning.
