Abstract: Beijing Radioactive ion beam facility Isotope Separate On-Line (BRISOL) at China Institute of Atom Energy (CIAE) has been developed to produce radioactive ion beams(RIB) by bombarding selected target with high intensity proton beam from a 100 MeV cyclotron. During its normal operation, as high as 1014 n/s neutrons and ray will be generated, So that the target and the materials near the target will be activated seriously. To meet the requirements of remote handling, the target station adopts modular design. The target station consists of three modules: each module has separate water cooling, vacuum and signal connections. The connections of vacuum, water, signal and compressed gas can be connected or disconnected automatically when the module is put in or pulled out from vacuum tank remotely. The modules can be grabbed and released remotely by an overhead crane, so they can be transferred between target station room and hot cell under surveillance of 14 cameras. The installation and commissioning of this remote handling system have been completed. This system has been put into use on-site.
