The purpose of this project was to design and fabricate a new system for transporting plutonium within gloveboxes in the Pyrochemistry Department at Rocky Flats. This system was developed using a small, remote controlled tank-like vehicle which was designed to carry a plutonium payload to any desired location within a particular glovebox system. This vehicle was named the Remotely Actuated Transporter. The transporter was built and used for testing and evaluation purposes. Accurate records of all evaluation results were kept. These records include information regarding the development and assembly of the transporter, as well as the determination of performance and endurance capabilities. Testing methods are also outlined. Analysis of these test results prove the Remotely Actuated Transporter to be an extremely versatile and durable machine. (ERA citation 07:015324)
