Abstract (en)

The robotic technological complex (1) of vertical storage of disposal canisters with spent nuclear fuel into gradually compacted bentonite consists of the robot (2) for transport, vertical storage of disposal canisters and compacting bentonite transporting the disposal canister (66) with spent nuclear fuel from the tank (62) of disposal canisters to the disposal corridor (9) and by composed movement it inserts it to the axis of the vertical storage borehole (10), further it comprises the vibration annual ring (37) for compacting granulated bentonite (49). Of the robot (3) for transport, dosing and compacting bentonite designated for transport of granulated bentonite (49) from the bentonite and concrete warehouse (7) and for its gradual dosing up to filling free volume of the vertical storage borehole (10) and for its compacting in final phase. Of the robot (4) for transport and application of concrete designated for transport of concrete from bentonite and concrete warehouse (7), for creation of concrete plug (72) of the vertical storage borehole (10) by means of the tank (55) of concrete with outlet hole (56) and vibration head (57).
