    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for inspection, maintenance, debris removal, and cleaning of environments that may be difficult to access and hazardous. The system comprises a mast assembly, an arm assembly, a debris removal system, and a drive system. The mast assembly comprises an inner mast and an outer mast having a central axis about which the arm assembly revolves. The arm assembly provides support for the debris removal system. The debris removal system comprises a bucket tool, a plow tool, and one or more hoses for clearing and removing debris. The drive system comprises a plurality of one or more of cables, pulleys, rollers, and hoists to at least one of control motion of the arm assembly, raise and lower the inner mast, and position and control at least one of the bucket tool and the plow tool. The system is at least one of manually or automatically controlled.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a modular reconfigurable shielding system for one or more storage containers in temporary or long term storage. The system comprises shield panels which may be used to shield external faces of containers in a storage configuration to reduce the overall amount of shielding required in a storage facility. Reducing the amount of shielding reduces the storage footprint of each container thus increasing storage capacity and efficiency of the storage facility. The modularity of the shield panels allows storage containers to be easily added and removed from the storage configuration. Additionally, modular shielding allows the amount and type of shielding to be easily reconfigured for differing requirements and storage contents.

    摘要: A sealing system for isolating the environment inside a vitrification container from the outside environment comprises a vitrification container with a lid. The lid comprises two or more electrode seal assemblies through which two or more electrodes may be operatively positioned and extend down through the lid into the vitrification container. The electrodes may move axially up and down through the electrode seal assemblies or lock into place. The electrode seal assemblies each comprise a housing having two halves with recessed ring grooves. Sealing rings with a split may be placed into the grooves. Gas galleries may be machined or cast into the housing such that they are adjacent to the ring grooves. The gas galleries distribute gas onto the external faces of the sealing rings causing a change in pressure resulting in the sealing rings compressing onto the electrodes and forming a seal.
