title = "Spallation neutron source remote handling implementation",
abstract = "This paper reviews ways the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) target service bay design team balanced the proven need to simplify the hot cell to ensure reliability with the need to include advanced features to achieve the difficult mission of keeping the large, highly activated mercury process in service. The hot cell dimensions are 100 ft long by 14 ft wide by 27 ft high, with 40-in.- thick high-density concrete walls. The hot cell provides containment and shielding for operation and maintenance of the SNS mercury target equipment. Radiation levels are estimated to be over 105 R/h near the mercury piping and up to 300 R/hr general background in the cell. The hot cell features and major remote equipment systems are described to present the overall approach for accomplishing the remote operations in the hot cell.",
