Critical Material Handling Equipment

Designing solutions specifically for nuclear decommissioning.
PAR equipment is involved in multiple steps of the radioactive waste vitrification processes around the world. Decommissioning activities include size reduction, material handling, waste sorting, segregation and packaging, assay, inspection, and examination. Our equipment helps provide worker protection while efficiently completing these complex projects.

From Chernobyl to Fukushima, PAR has provided critical material handling equipment for decommissioning projects. High-capacity cranes, remote operated tooling, inspection and demolition equipment are all within PAR’s capabilities and have been demonstrated worldwide.

Specialty Cranes

Designing for decommissioning, hot cells, and other nuclear-related facilities.
New and special cranes are often required for decommissioning and other nuclear related projects. Hot cells require the use of cranes designed for special needs including remote installation and maintenance, high levels of radiation tolerance, recovery features, and supplemental video monitoring to conduct planned operations within the hot cell.
