Cleaning the Roving Mirror Diagnostic Enclosure
Transport & Handling’s Paul Bonifacio uses a polyester cleanroom tool called an “Alpha mop” to precision-wipe the interior of a Roving Mirror Diagnostic Enclosure (RMDE) during the June 2016 Facility Maintenance and Reconfiguration period. Replacement of the RMDE roving calorimeters is followed by cleanliness sampling for particles and organics. Test shots fired to the RMDE calorimeters can assess many aspects of NIF performance.
