Managing and decommissioning nuclear plants presents a range of unique challenges, from the special hazards of radioactivity to the strict regulatory environment. Emerging techniques in robotics, sensing and imaging have huge potential to save lifetime costs, improve safety, and accelerate clean up; yet the adoption of these technologies is hampered by a range of non-technological obstacles, ranging from safety-case challenges, through short-term financial planning horizons, and market fragmentation. Createc specialises in helping its customers solve the technical and human challenges together, vastly increasing the chances of success for nuclear innovators.
Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL) and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) have partnered with Createc Ltd, to launch an innovative twelve-month programme of work, taking on seven different remote robotic sensing projects, across five different Dounreay teams.
