Dave,

Following on from the Consolidation meeting the other day I did spend some time looking for remote manipulation products and prices. It’s clear that I would have to approach the companies in order to get fixed prices as they do not appear to give price lists over the web for this sort of equipment. I have attached a few useful links, there are also companies that produce clear mobile shielding screens, something that maybe of some use whilst working on a Dee assembly. I also attach a very useful guide on safe handling of radioactive materials in research, this is quite interesting and a recommended read for those involved in the design of the screening equipment.

Finally Guide document on Safe Handling, file attached.

 

Hope this helps, let me know if you want prices, this will take me a bit of time if you do.
