The complex, created in SKTB PR (resident of the SEZ "Technopolis «Moscow»" - "High-tech"), consists not only of
Such a robotic complex makes it possible to dismantle carbon-graphite reactors. Previously, they were widely used at nuclear power plants and industrial facilities that produce weapons.
The development eliminates the presence of people in the area withincreased radiation. The operator remotely controls the robot via a remote control and, using the video system included in the complex, monitors the execution of work. The robot's manipulator is capable of lifting and carrying up to 100 kg, which is enough lifting capacity to remove graphite blocks. Since the end of last year, the development has been located at the Experimental Demonstration Center for Coal-Graphite Reactors and is now undergoing trial operation there.

SKTB PR also created a stand simulatinggraphite masonry and the main elements of the reactor metal structures. The first tests of the robot were carried out at the stand, which confirmed its capabilities. In the future, operators with the help of a robot will be able to practice the most complex dismantling operations and improve their practical skills.
