Radiation tolerance of components and materials in nuclear robot applications

    Research outputpeer-review

    Abstract

    This paper describes the implications of radiation effects on the reliable and safe operation of robotic and manipulator systems in nuclear environments. Radiation effects on typical components are outlined and examples of two systems to which radiation tolerant design rules have been applied are illustrated.
