ÃÃThe lack of as-built drawings and information for many old nuclear facilities impedes the planning for a decommissioning. Traditional manual walkthroughs subject workers to lengthy exposure to radiological and other hazards. And also there have been a delay in the dismantling schedules and that in an increase in the amount of waste, which have caused a heavy expenditure for the decommissioning cost. In order for a 3D model to represent the real dismantling operation environment, realistic dismantling activities and scenarios were modeled. We present a dismantling digital mock-up system that can show a dismantling process through an animation and enable us to evaluate the major parameters that can directly affect the cost in a static simulation as a preview to the dismantling activities on a hypothetical dismantling environment. We carried out a prototype 3D animation and a simulation system for dismantling the thermal column in Korean Research Reactor-1(KRR-1). The results show that the modeling of a realistic scenario makes it possible to demonstrate the adequacy of the design and can provide operators with a high fidelity under the real working conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
