摘要:
A tool for delivery of a testing element to a limited access location within a nuclear containment includes a rotation apparatus having a connection element that is configured to have an aperture that is formed generally centrally therein. A submersible machine is structured to carry the tool to a limited access location within a nuclear containment. The submersible machine includes a mount apparatus configured to be movably clamped onto a steam dam of a nuclear reactor apparatus and to drive the submersible machine circumferentially along the steam dam to inspect a plurality of jet pumps or other limited access locations of the nuclear reactor apparatus. The improved submersible machine advantageously further includes an adjustment table between the mount apparatus and a frame that carries the tool to enable rapid accurate positioning of the frame, and thus the tool, once the submersible machine has been mounted to the steam dam.

摘要:
A shellfish harvesting apparatus and a method of using the apparatus to harvest shellfish is provided. A floating vessel and harvester are provided to harvest shellfish from the waters surrounding the vessel. A turret, an elongated boom attached to the turret, a gathering arm attached to boom, and a gathering device attached to the gathering arm make up the mechanical structure of the harvester. Using this apparatus to harvest shellfish thereby is accomplished in an efficient manner while reducing disruption to the ecosystem.
