Nuclear Radiation Waste Disposal

From Chernobyl to the discharge of nuclear wastewater from Japanese nuclear power plants, nuclear safety has always been a significant concern. The utilization of nuclear energy is closely linked to our daily lives. As of December 22, 2022, there are 16 operational nuclear power plants within the country, with dozens more under construction. Additionally, nuclear energy is extensively used in various scientific research and medical fields. According to public data, the world generates over 10,000 tons of nuclear waste annually, with over 3,000 tons produced domestically. As is well known, nuclear waste is extremely hazardous and requires safe, scientific, and rigorous handling. The entire process demands highly meticulous radiation protection. Ensuring the safe, swift, and reliable completion of the disposal process, while guaranteeing the absolute safety of personnel, has become a critical challenge that must be addressed.

Pain Points:

1. Personnel Safety: Nuclear waste is filled with radioactive substances such as alpha, beta, and gamma rays, posing significant danger at all times. Regardless of how advanced the protective measures are, any personnel approaching the waste are at risk of radiation exposure.

2. Leakage and Spillage: Traditional manual handling is hindered by the cumbersome nature of protective suits, making flexible operation difficult. Even well-trained engineers require absolute reliability to prevent possible leaks and ensure safety.

3. Fire and Explosion: Nuclear waste may contain flammable and explosive materials. Despite using appropriate preventive measures during handling, there are still risks of causing injury, property damage, and environmental harm due to nuclear leaks.

To meet the demands for nuclear radiation waste disposal, the engineering crawler vehicle equipped with Techrobots TB6-R5 collaborative robot, with an effective load of 5 kilograms and a 933mm arm span, ensures operational range and provides excellent precision and stability, making it suitable for various special scenarios on-site.

Technical Advantages:

1. Safety: Using robots for remote-controlled operations replaces manual labor, maximizing personnel safety. Robots do not experience fatigue or physiological reactions.

2. Reliability: Techrobots TB6 series products utilize proprietary joint modules and core servo drivers, providing high-precision and highly reliable motion control, ensuring the nuclear waste disposal process is safe and reliable.

3. Compact Size and Excellent Load Ratio: This ensures long endurance for unmanned vehicles, allowing continuous operation in nuclear radiation waste disposal tasks, ensuring safety while achieving good transfer efficiency.
