Induction motors with conventional organic insulation are used at technological plants designed for recycling nuclear fuel waste of nuclear power stations. In the nuclear radiation environment, the service life of these asynchronous motors does not typically exceed 3-4 months as the winding insulation is destructed being exposed to nuclear radiation. This results in costs increase. To prolong the motor service life and reduce the costs, a valve-inductor-type motor is being developed for this application field due to a simple construction of the stator windings and the feasibility of using non-organic insulation.

By using modeling and simulation technology, motion simulation and structural analysis were carried out on hydraulic manipulators structure working in the radiation environment. The results of motion simulation can test the manipulators kinematics characteristic, and provide a basis for structural optimization design.Structural analysis could be used to validate manipulators s tructure is able to withstand the movement of stress, strain or not. Manipulators structure design can be properly improved by use of the structural analysis.
