Mobile Robotic Hot Cell/Glovebox System for Hazardous and Radioactive Waste Disposition

Project: Research project

Project Details

Description

The overarching objective of this work, led by Argonne National Lab (ANL) is to develop and demonstrate a Mobile Robotic Hot Cell/Glovebox System for Hazardous and Radioactive Waste Disposition (aka “Hotbox”). The proposed system will enable workers to do their jobs remotely, thereby dramatically reducing exposure, reducing PPE costs along with the use of Industrial Hygienists and Health Physicists. Labor cost may also be reduced.
