ITER In-Vessel Components (IVCs) will have limited lifetimes and need to be maintained and/or replaced during the operational life of ITER. IVCs are attached to the plant cooling water system via pipework to enable active cooling of the components during plasma operations. When maintenance is required, Remote Handling Systems (RHS) will be used …

As part of the development work performed under the ITER Robotic Test Facility (IRTF) the development and substantiation of the maintenance strategy for the Vacuum Vessel Pressure Suppression System (VVPSS) must be investigated. The VVPSS is a key safety aspect of the vacuum vessel of ITER. It ensures after a coolant leak, and subsequent pressure e…

The first advanced robot many of us will experience may well be an autonomous vehicle (or driverless car). Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology has made huge strides in recent years moving from a mainstay of science fiction to the first forays on public roads. The promise in AV stems from a wide range of potential and perceived benefits, the bigges…
