Research on the Tokamak Equipment CAsk (TECA) for Remote Handling in Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST)

The tele-operated transfer cask is required for maintenance in nuclear fusion environment. A type of the transfer cask system, namely TECA (Tokamak Equipment CAsk) is designed for Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). The whole TECA system schemes, composed of the Air Cushion Vehicle (ACV), the Docking Pallet (DP), and the Conservation Cask (CC), are designed, and the prototype is accomplished. The motion and control of the ACV, the DP, and the DSD are detailedly analyzed. The motion control experiments validate the TECA applicable.
