Chinese 10 MW High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTR-10) has inherent safety; the residual heat of the spent fuel could be removed by natural ventilation in loading process. The spent fuel storage tank could shield radiation; the outside is covered by an iron sleeve; the spent fuel tank would be stored in atmosphere after fully loaded, and the residual heat could be discharged by natural ventilation in interim storage stage. The calculation showed that, the maximum temperature locates in the middle of the fuel pebble bed in the spent fuel tank in loading process and interim storage stage, and the temperature decrease gradually with radial distance; the temperature in the tank body and sleeve is evenly; it is feasible to remove the residual heat of the spent fuel tank by natural ventilation, and in the natural ventilation condition, the temperature of the spent fuel and the tank is lower than the temperature limit, which provides theoretical evidence for the choice of the residual heat removal method in loading process and interim storage stage.

Abstract This paper will introduce a new type of modular manipulator system that is particularly well suited for performing long-reach, high-payload operations such as waste storage tank remediation. These new capabilities are achieved by employing an “all-truss” design in which discrete truss modules are used to construct a reconfigurable manipulator system. Each module of the manipulator is either a static truss “link” or one of several possible Variable Geometry Truss “joints.” This paper presents background information, system requirements, a description of the individual components used to construct the manipulator, and an overview of the kinematic analysis algorithms developed to address the redundant nature of the manipulator.
