Development and Installation of semi-hot cell equipment for irradiated miniaturized specimen preparation, manipulation and testing

Original language description

During the period from 2012 to 2015, the Mechanical Testing Department of UJV Rez, a. s. was involved in two research projects focused on the implementation of new testing techniques into the standard process of evaluation of NPP irradiated structural materials degradation. These projects were conducted with the support of Technology Agency of the Czech Republic and their main aim was the implementation of innovative semi-destructive testing methods (SPT - Small Punch Testing, ABIT - Automated Ball Indentation Testing) in the portfolio of accredited testing procedures and their application on irradiated materials testing, especially with the focus on irradiated materials of hardly replaceable NPP components. For the purpose of NPP components irradiated materials mechanical testing, the Integrity and Technical Engineering Division of UJV Rez, a. s., operates 51 hot and semi-hot cells equipped with the state-of-art technology for specimen preparation, testing and PIE, creating a solid basis for the solving of research projects of this kind. However, for the purpose of the performed projects it was necessary to design a new hot cell, the equipment within the semi-hot cell, and the procedures to enable the testing and evaluation of the thin sub-sized specimens without affecting their fracture surface while using standard master/slave manipulator tongs. This paper describes the process of the development and the installation of the equipment for remotely controlled miniaturized specimen preparation, manipulation, testing and PIE in the hot cell and semi-hot cell facility of UJV Rez, a. s., Integrity and Technical Engineering Division.
