Opening the HRMT-45 module by means of a robot
Opening the HRMT-45 module by means of a robot After having undergone several high intensity beam impacts at the HiRadMat facility in August, the TDIS HRMT-45 module was disassembled in November by the EN/STI-TCD and EN/SMM-MRO teams in the bunker 867-R-P58 for the post-irradiation analysis. The ultimate goal is to verify that all the equipment
