Monitor 1983

The Monitor remote handling system was especially developed to perform "in situ" remote maintenance operations on Line A at the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Facility (LAMPF). Previous papers have traced the development of the system from prototype unit thru the more sophisticated "Monitor I" and "Monitor II" systems now in use. The "Monitor I" and "Monitor II" systems have served well in performing all necessary maintenance; however, future major improvements and expansion of experimental facilities call for development of a third system. Monitor III is a more portable system which will be able to support major disassembly and reconstruction of facilities remote from Line A. The system will include a large trailer mounted cask for safe transport of obsolete radioactive beam line components to the disposal site.
