Abstract
Systems and methods for servicing a nuclear reactor module are provided. Such systems include a crane that couples to the reactor module. The crane includes a conduit for routing signals from sensors of the reactor module to sensor receivers. The crane includes a drive mechanism to move the reactor module from a reactor bay to a servicing area. The drive mechanism moves the reactor module in a first direction and a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. The crane includes a support bracket for mounting sensor signal receivers that receive the signals from the sensors within the nuclear reactor module. The system includes a display to display representations of the signals from the sensors of the nuclear reactor module in a servicing area. Another display displays representations of the signals from the sensors of the nuclear reactor module in an operator area.
