Mike, Our primary focus is on water clarity, especially in the refueling pool and as such we use a Tri-Nuc vac hooked up to a surface skimmer. Accumulated debris, etc., is rinsed into the liquid radwaste system following each refueling outage. We would rather keep high level material in the pipes and avoid creating > class C waste.
We also supplement this cleaning with installed systems such as pool cooling and clean-up, but nothing that would be considered as the latest technologies.

We currently using a Tri-Nuc 260 or 600 and are working with an older robot (parts are a challenge) or a series of poles (2" cam-luc aluminum) attached to a vacuum head. Does anyone have suggestions on a better technique or latest robot technologies you've had success with? Thank you for your help. Michael C.
