2020, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated EquipmentCitation Excerpt :It is very important and meaningful to promote the crossing research about the robotics and nuclear power plants. The research of robotics applied into the nuclear plants has kept developing since many years ago [3–6]. The first example of robotics technology application in NPPs was realized in US for radioactive materials handling.
A review of ground-based robotic systems for the characterization of nuclear environments
2019, Progress in Nuclear EnergyCitation Excerpt :Equally extensive research activities on the other hand, do not focus on a specific robotic mission, yet they present cutting-edge research in order, for example, to increase the radiation resistance of mechanical and electronic components as well as to improve computing reliability. Examples include undertaking irradiation tests on optical fibres (Coenen and Decreton, 1993), position sensing using laser systems (Decreton, 1995), and other sensory components, communication, cabling and connector (Diggins et al., 2015; Garreau et al., 2013; Han et al., 2015; Kuwahara et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2018; Sharp and Decreton, 1996; Sinclair and Chertov, 2015; Van Duy et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2013). Similarly, high end computing is also regarded as greatly important (Bagatin et al., 2017; Lin et al., 2016; Nancekievill et al., 2016; Ostler et al., 2009; Schmidt et al., 2012; Sterpone et al., 2005; Wu et al., 2011).
γ-Ray irradiation stability and damage mechanism of glycidyl amine epoxy resin
2016, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and AtomsCitation Excerpt :For example, the mechanical properties of glass fiber enforced TGPAP epoxy composite are scarcely affected by γ-ray irradiation with a low dose rate of 6 kGy/h [11], and there is no obvious performance change for TGPAP/DDM resin system under neutron irradiation with 1.77 × 1022 n/m2 [12]. Nevertheless, higher energy gamma rays produced in nuclear power plant [13], especially during the nuclear leakage are more harmful, and will result in great resin matrix degradation and sharp mechanical strength decrease. So the investigation of radiation damage mechanism of TGPAP as well as the irradiation influence on its physical–chemical properties under high energy photon reflux is very necessary.
