Abstract :
The completion of periodic checking of nuclear power plants performed once a year safely and in a short period of time is becoming increasingly important in terms of the improved plant utilization efficiency and stable supply of electric power as more nuclear power plants are built. In periodic checking of nuclear power plants in particular, shorter working time to reduce radiation exposure to workers to an absolute minimum is a social requirement and is particularly important. In the light of such a background, remote-control automation of a series of equipment used in periodic checking has been developed and has actually been used in nuclear power plants successfully.
