The European Spallation Source Active Cells Facility is a unique facility for processing highly radioactive
waste produced by the experiment. Due to the levels of radiation produced by the waste components combined
with the scale of operations, the facility was designed to be operated without windows, using robotic manipulation
systems and camer…
The Active Cells Facility will be the world’s largest hot cell and will be used to process radioactive waste generated in the operation of the European Spallation Source. Several innovative technologies and approaches have been developed for the ESS Active Cells, drawing on advances made in remote handling techniques and technology from fusion re…
