Official UK procurement notice
DEMO RMTF - TR0 Modular Integration Work Cell
Authority: United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionRACE is developing the DEMO Remote Maintenance Test Facility (RMTF), which is
intended to mitigate remote handling risks in the DEMO tokamak reactor project and to
advance RACE’s understanding of handling blanket segments – heavy, flexible payloads
lining the inside of the reactor vessel.
The programme of work for the RMTF will involve the development and subsequent
integration of a number of test rigs delivering a range of DEMO relevant capabilities.
The TR0 Modular Integration Work Cell (the subject of this procurement specification,
henceforth referred to as “TR0”) has been commissioned as a first step in understanding
the performance of robotic systems when handling flexible payloads. TR0 will facilitate the
development of control algorithms and will help to inform (and therefore de-risk) the design
of subsequent RMTF test rigs.
