Abstract
The A0 sector of the Main Accelerator at Fermilab serves a dual function. During a collider run this sector is used as an abort. The same area is used to divert beam to the switchyard during a fixed target run. The area is subject to high residual radiation, therefore making it important that personnel working to change the equipment do so with a minimal amount of radiation exposure. A system has been designed to reduce the time a technician must spend in this area
