Internal
Duct Characterization System
(Tech ID 42)
 The
Internal Duct Characterization System (IDCS) consists of a control station;
a reel-mounted tether for data communication, video, and power; and the
duct crawling vehicle. The IDCS vehicle can travel over 200 feet in round
ducts 6 inches in diameter and larger and in rectangular ducts 6 inches
square and larger. The vehicle visually inspects the interior condition
of ducts using a high-resolution color video camera and has an integrated
radiation sensor to detect significant levels of radioactivity. The entire
vehicle is made from stainless steel and is designed to be decontaminated.
The IDCS system also provides limited contaminant sampling and decontamination
capabilities.
