JET-P(87)02
Design and Operation of the Remote Maintenance System in JET
The JET tokamak is a joint European project aimed at proving the viability of nuclear fusion as a source of energy. A remote handling system is being developed for this large experimental facility. Force feedback servomanipulators and TV cameras are 'positioned at work locations by large transporters. Positioning and teleoperation are computer-assisted. Special tools are being devised to facilitate difficult tasks.
