This invention generally concerns robotic systems and is specifically concerned with an improved apparatus and method for inspecting nuclear reactor components in limited access areas, such as, the core annulus, core spray and feedwater sparger regions of a nuclear reactor. This invention includes an apparatus for remotely operating and positioning at least one inspection device for inspecting at least one component in an annulus region of a reactor pressure vessel of a nuclear power plant. The apparatus includes a track, a braking system and a frame assembly which has a frame movably connected to the track, at least one mast assembly and at least one mast positioning assembly. The at least one inspection device is attached to the at least one mast assembly. In certain embodiments, the at least one mast assembly includes a mast that is capable of becoming rigidly stable in both an extended tube form and a retracted rolled form.

This invention concerns robotic systems and is specifically concerned with an improved apparatus and method for remotely positioning a sensor, such as an ultrasonic probe, in limited access areas within a nuclear reactor. The apparatus includes a bottom frame and a top cover which is substantially aligned with and positioned above the bottom frame. A sensor is connected to the top cover and linear rails are connected to the bottom frame in a parallel relationship. There is a mechanism movably connected to the first and second linear rails in order to allow horizontal travel of the top cover. Further, there is at least one cable connected to the sensor and a power source, signal source or receiver.

Provided is a remotely operated manipulator which can be applied to a space which is wider on a back side than at an opening part, which has a simple structure, high stiffness, and high reliability. The remotely operated manipulator of the present invention includes: a circular base fixed to a wall surface; a beam which rotates on the circular base; a trolley which moves on the beam; and a mast which is raised and lowered with respect to the trolley and is mounted with a tool unit at a tip. Stiffness is improved by directly fixing the beam to the wall surface by a beam fixing device. Further, a work region is expanded by mounting a bending mast on the tip of the mast.
