What is Remote Handling Compatibility Analysis ?

A RH Compatibility Analysis examines systematically or a component or system is suitable for maintenance using Remote Handling solutions.

Within the design guidelines of ITER should be a RHCA performed at every formal Design Review , on each system and sub-system of ITER to be. Expected to be replaced during the lifetime of ITER The ITER RHCA follows a formal procedure.

Applications

• To determine the maintainability of a component in preparation for a formal design review
• Validating maintenance plans
• When should reliability maintenance increased
• When inaccessible places to be for inspection and maintenance accessible
• When one wants to raise about human action safety
• If large and heavy parts have to be moved

Application areas

• Various studies and projects for ITER and F4E

Benefits

• Reliability of maintenance is increased
• Certainty about the applicability of Remote Handling , visibility , accessibility and gripability (‘handlability’)
• Safety increases
• Certainty about feasibility of displacement (geometric , not necessarily mechanical)
• Unhide all competencies of various issues
• In advance considering maintenance and how maintenance should be performed
