Successful Robotic Beryllium Detection in North Area TCC2
Toward the end of last year, the robotics team received a request to inspect hot areas in TCC2 and test for potential beryllium contamination. The team collaborated with various groups to define a detection procedure using dry wipes, and designed, built, and tested a new tool for the CERN robot CRANEbot to carry out the…
