Case Study | Investigation System for Fukushima Reactor

Abingdon, UK

The challenge was to design and construct a remotely controlled, boom-type robotic arm system to investigate the nature and location of nuclear fuel debris in the highly radioactive and contaminated environment of the disabled Unit 2 Reactor. 

Automated Sort & Seg

Case Study | Blended Intelligence for Safe and Efficient Nuclear Sort & Segregation

Fukushima Daiichi, Japan

The challenge was to find a solution to the problem of sorting and segregating radioactive waste generated by nuclear decommissioning activities. The developed solution would be an autonomous, fully integrated system capable of dealing with nuclear waste in a safe and efficient way.
