Sampling
End-Effector for West Valley Tanks
(Tech ID 2941)
 The
West Valley Demonstration Project has been removing sludge successfully
using mixer pumps for several years, but has reached the point where most
of what remains is a difficult to access heel. The Robotics Crosscut Program
is developing a grab sampling end-effector that will allow representative
samples of the remaining waste heel to be collected in Tanks 8D-1 and
8D-2. This end-effector will be designed for deployment by the mast tool
delivery system and will also include provisions for subsequent transport
of the sample to the lab for analysis.
