Palo Verde periodically hires a robot guru who contracts for an ISI company. He brings his own robots, uses them to get video for visual inspections in high dose rate areas, and handles all their maintenance and repair.
Our most recent big example was to support repairs of a bottom mounted instrument nozzle under the reactor vessel. If that sort of thing appeals to you, drop me a line and I will find you his contact information.
