Radwaste
Handling
In
the early 80's ACECO supplied its first remotely operated
nuclear radwaste handling crane with automated computer
control system and custom grapples. This technology
has continued to develop.
These
early crane system were designed with various grapples
to handle drums, drum containers, DAW boxes and high
integrity containers. Operation of these cranes was
performed from either remote or local locations. The
crane system also included redundant features in order
to insure maximum crane reliability. From
the early 80's through today ACECO has enjoyed a strong
reputation as a specialty supplier in the remote radwaste
storage field. This reputation is further enhanced
with our 10 CFR 50 Appendix B / NQA-1 Quality Assurance
Program. Recently
ACECO has supplied special purpose cranes and transport
trucks to handle weapons grade material in Russia.
These cranes were designed to ASME NOG-1 TYPE 1 Single
Failure-Proof standards as well as applicable Russian
standards.
Similarly ACECO has supplied numerous cranes to the Hanford Site to handle
spent nuclear fuel.
ACECO's remote radwaste handling technology continues to evolve providing our
customers with the latest designs to assure successful movement of these materials
while minimizing ALARA concerns. CLICK
