Zusammenfassende Dokumentation des Laborautomatisierungssystems Radar für die Analytik einer Kernbrennstoff Wiederaufarbeitungsanlage

This report represents the condensed documentation of the computer-based laboratory automation system RADRAR (Remote Analytical Data Acquisition and Reduction) for the analytical laboratory of a reprocessing facility for high temperature reactor fuel elements. The essential tasks of the system are on-line open-loop process control based on in-line measurements and automation of the offline analytical laboratory. The in-line measurements (at 55 tanks of the chemical process area) provide density-, liquid-, level-, and temperature values. The concentration value of a single component may easily be determined, if the solution consists of no more than two phases. The automation of the off-line analytical laboratory contains laboratory organization including sample management and data organization and computer-aided sample transportation control, data acquisition and data processing at chemical and nuclear analytical devices. The computer system consists of two computer-subsystems: a front end system for sample central registration and in-line process control and a central size system for the off-line analytical tasks. The organization of the application oriented system uses a centralized data base. Similar data processing functions concerning different analytical management tasks are structured into the following subsystem: man machine interface, interrupt- and data acquisition system, data base, protocol service and data processing. The procedures for the laboratory managernent (organization and experiment sequences) are defined by application data bases. Following the project phases, engineering requirements-, design-, assembly-, start up- and test run phase are described. In additionfigures on expenditure and experiences are given and the system concept is discussed
