The dismantling of «sensitive» workshops (used for sorting high/medium-level radioactive waste) is a key concern for the ASN and ANDRA. In order to meet their safety/security requirements, the CEA is implementing reliable technical solutions to contain the most critical workshops as far as possible. In this context, the CEA has entrusted SALVAREM with the design and deployment of the Maestro remotely operated mechanical arm, a new technology designed to improve the performance of the most sensitive and critical dismantling operations.
Human Design Group is supporting SALVAREM (NUVIA Freyssinet Group) with a Human Factors consultancy for the development and certification of a remotely operated mechanical arm (Maestro) for the most sensitive and critical nuclear dismantling operations.
The experts at Human Design Group worked with the SALVAREM and CEA project teams to define a Plan d'Intégration des Human and Organisational Factors (FOH) in the design and deployment phase of the mechanical arm. It then carried out the studies required to integrate the following issues FOH in the design and deployment phase of the mechanical arm («macroscopic» and «microscopic» analyses).
A file justifying the Human and organisational factors in the design phase was drawn up and presented to the safety authorities. Human Design Group also carried out an analysis of the risks associated with FOH in the deployment phase of the mechanical arm and defined an action plan FOH to limit them.
