Melton Valley Storage Tank System Demonstration Friday, April 27, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Rbx staff conducted a demonstration of the Melton Valley Storage Tank (MVST) system for Bechtel Jacobs and Duratek Federal Services. The MVST system contains three remote camera systems and three fiber optic light pipes for illumination. The three cameras include (1) one wide-angle color camera, (2) one telephoto color camera, and (3) one low-light telephoto black and white camera. Two Xenon 300W light sources provided sufficient illumination to allow the black and white low-light camera to ascertain details on the order of 0.5 inches at 40 ft away in a completely dark laboratory. A third 150-watt Halogen light source and light pipe provide variable illumination for viewing as the remote head enters the access port and the vapor space of the tank during the initial deployment. The camera, lights, and pan and tilt are housed inside the 2-inch outside diameter cylindrical housing of the 2 degree-of-freedom deployment arm permitting entrance into the MVST tanks. The G3 ports of the MVST tanks have been measured to have slightly less than a 2.5-inch clear aperture for access to the tanks.
