ESS Active Cells Size Reduction Process Two goals: • Size Reduction into sections that fit in a 3mx2mx1m box. • Material Segregation • Tungsten Cassettes from the Target Wheel. • Beryllium Cassettes from the Moderator Reflector Plug Two key processes: • Shaft Cutting • Precision Machining This opportunity reflects the Precision Machining process that involves Target Station Components operations on the Target Wheel and Moderator Reflector Plug and generally involves material segregation. 3 COMMERCIAL | RACE
Operations: Moderator Reflector Plug Three Cuts: • Light cutting through aluminium to release the Irradiation Module. • Cutting through the top of the MRP Frame to access and cut the Beryllium Cassette piping. • Long, deep cut to allow the Beryllium Cassette to be lifted free. • Connection points available to allow Cassette clamping during cutting operations. 4 COMMERCIAL | RACE
Operations: Target Wheel 1 Three tasks to remove the Tungsten Cassettes: • Remove the Target Wheel Rim • Cut the low penetration retaining welds that hold the Tungsten Cassettes in place that were concealed below the Rim. • Extract the Tungsten Cassettes: • Up to 10kN radial extraction force needed 5 COMMERCIAL | RACE
Operations: Target Wheel 2 Final Size Reduction Task: • Allow the remaining wheel to fit within the Waste Storage Baskets. • 1 long cut along each side of the wheel as shown. • Key issue is the depth structure of these cuts. 6 COMMERCIAL | RACE
Space Allocation 25 Tonne Grapple Access • Large part of the Process Cell allocated for the Machining Station. • Access by grapple and hoist decreases 8 Tonne Hoist Access towards one end of the volume, limiting the equipment that can be installed there. • Manipulator access to the whole volume, dependent on the equipment installed. 3 Tonne Hoist Access 7 COMMERCIAL | RACE
Additional Constraints • No cutting fluids. • Limited hydraulics permitted. • All in cell elements to be designed for maintenance by robotic manipulator and the available cranage. • Swarf and dust production must be controlled. • Limits on use of lubricant, polymers and silicon electronics due to radiation field – see next slides. 8 COMMERCIAL | RACE
Lifting Attachments Lifting attachments to allow for the manipulation of the components to be moved to the Machining Station by the in cell handing System. The concepts below have been generated to allow the definition of the lifting points. Tungsten Cassette Beryllium Cassette MRP Frame Target Wheel Lifting Lifting Adaptor Machining Clamp Lifting Adaptor Adaptor and Lifting Adaptor 9 COMMERCIAL | RACE
Radiation Hardness Two Options: • Design to the integrated dose expected to be ~3.5MGray over 4.5 years. • Individual components to be designed to approximately 1MGray hardness with the option to replace remotely. • Follow provided design rules that include: • All silicon electronics installed outside the cell in provided rack room. • Class H high temperature motors. • Brushless resolvers in place of encoders. • Polyurethane or PEEK cabling, or other cabling rated to 1MGray. • Only ethers or alkyl aromatics wet lubricants allowable. 10 COMMERCIAL | RACE
Additional Cuts Additional points MAY be awarded in the assessment of the tenders if the following cut on the Target Wheel can also be completed, either within the Machining Station Space Allocation, or at the Receiving Fixture. Lip weld to be cut. 11 COMMERCIAL | RACE
