Designation:C172517Standard Guide forHot Cell Specialized Support Equipment and Tools1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1725;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 Intent:1.1.1 This guide presents practices and guidelines for thedesign and implementation of equipment and tools to assistassembly,disassembly,alignment,fastening,maintenance,orgeneral handling of equipment in a hot cell.Operating in aremote hot cell environment significantly increases the diffi-culty and time required to perform a task compared tocompleting a similar task directly by hand.Successful special-ized support equipment and tools minimize the required effort,reduce risks,and increase operating efficiencies.1.2 Applicability:1.2.1 This guide may apply to the design of specializedsupport equipment and tools anywhere it is remotely operated,maintained,and viewed through shielding windows or by otherremote viewing systems.1.2.2 Consideration should be given to the need for special-ized support equipment and tools early in the design process.1.2.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to beregarded as standard.The values given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units that are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard.1.3 Caveats:1.3.1 This guide is generic in nature and addresses a widerange of remote working configurations.Other acceptable andproven international configurations exist and provide optionsfor engineer and designer consideration.Specific designs arenot a substitute for applied engineering skills,proven practices,or experience gained in any specific situation.1.3.2 This guide does not supersede federal or stateregulations,or both,or codes applicable to equipment underany conditions.1.3.3 This guide does not purport to address all of the safetyconcerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A193/A193M Specification for Alloy-Steel and StainlessSteel Bolting for High Temperature or High PressureService and Other Special Purpose ApplicationsA354 Specification for Quenched and Tempered Alloy SteelBolts,Studs,and Other Externally Threaded FastenersA453/A453M Specification for High-Temperature Bolting,with Expansion Coefficients Comparable to AusteniticStainless SteelsA962/A962M Specification for Common Requirements forBolting Intended for Use at Any Temperature from Cryo-genic to the Creep RangeC859 Terminology Relating to Nuclear MaterialsC1217 Guide for Design of Equipment for ProcessingNuclear and Radioactive MaterialsC1533 Guide for General Design Considerations for HotCell EquipmentC1554 Guide for Materials Handling Equipment for HotCellsC1615 Guide for Mechanical Drive Systems for RemoteOperation in Hot Cell FacilitiesC1661 Guide for Viewing Systems for Remotely OperatedFacilitiesSI10-02 IEEE/ASTM SI 10 American National Standard forUse of the International System of Units(SI):The ModernMetric System2.2 Federal Regulations:310 CFR 830.120 Subpart A,Nuclear Safety Management,Quality Assurance Requirements1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C26 on Nuclear FuelCycle and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C26.14 on Remote Systems.Current edition approved June 1,2017.Published June 2017.Originallyapproved in 2010.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as C1725 10.DOI:10.1520/C1725-17.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from U.S.Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Mail Stop:SDE,Washington,DC 20401,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 2.3 Other Standards:4ANSI/ASME NQA-1 Quality Assurance Requirements forNuclear Facility
