21. In summary  Telerobotics solutions off-the-shelves are not necessarily suited to ionized radiation environments  RAMS issues  PURESAFE aims at understanding specific requirements and proposing solutions  Remote operations are “transverse problems” shared by all/most systems installed in facilities; they shall be considered as from the beginning of their development phase. 2013-05-06 21
