- Summary
- The manager of a facility handling special nuclear material (SNM) is caught in a squeeze between increased state and federal regulations and tighter funding. RoboCal uses a robot to manipulate canisters containing SNM to lower worker radiation exposure and to provide increased utilization of expensive assay equipment. In addition, it helps with accountability and material tracking. It consists of a hierarchical network of more than a dozen computers and provides a single point of contact for the user to accomplish multiple assays.
