Abstract
A versatile remote visual examination system capable of acquiring information in high- radiation or hazardous areas. The system can characterize waste in piping runs up to 1500 ft long with diameters of 2 in. and up. Complementary information such as temperature, grade, radiation dose, anomaly location and hazardous gas level can all be monitored simultaneously with the visual images. The system can be converted for tank or vault examinations. Cost savings and enhanced personnel safety may be realized by using this system. Excavation time and money can be saved and nondestructive evaluation of piping systems and tanks can be performed.
