Radiometric Drone in Complex GPS Denied Environments Is this your challenge? Visual inspections for the nuclear sector are often conducted manually by an inspector scrutinising the entirety of an asset. Sometimes crawling robots may be used to automate the process. However, these robots are limited in their ability to access different environments (at height

Wide-Range, no warm up dose-rate monitoring Is this your challenge? Providing health physics and radiation protection services tools that are accurate, simple to operate and quick to setup is essential. Dose-rate monitoring is no exception. Across day-to-day operations within the nuclear industry, police, fire and first responders in hazardous materials inci

New heights for 3D reality capture Is this your challenge? How to get to new heights when it comes to gathering BIM data quickly and safely? Often, industrial sites can be complex and present intricate geometry. To get that bird’s eye view, some will do it the hard way, deploy from multiple points, run multiple […]

Is this your challenge ? Any nuclear site and its associated processes are meticulously screened by their staff to ensure correct operation within the licence boundaries. From electricity-generating sites to fuel cycle plants and shutdown facilities, many reports are generated. Some of those– especially in operating plants - are Condition Reports –part o

Is this your challenge ? Workplaces can be contaminated by a range of contaminants. Occupational exposure to dust-emitting materials such as asbestos, lead and silica should not be taken lightly. Take for instance asbestos. Used from the 1940s through the 1970s as highly effective and inexpensive fire-retardant material and thermal and acoustic insulator, it

Is this your challenge ? The Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) radiation transport code stands as a monumental achievement in the realm of nuclear simulations. Originating from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the late 1940s, MCNP was conceived during a time of rapid advancements in nuclear science. Over the decades, it has evolved, adapting to […

Is this your challenge ? Anyone with a background in nuclear should know that maintenance or decommissioning can be very demanding. Some operations cannot yet be automatised: they can be too challenging and complex to apprehend because of the unpredictable bias they carry.Take for instance, scabbling, grinding, deburring or decontaminating. All dealing with

Is this your challenge ? We often hear about the potential augmented reality (AR) could bring to industrials, how digital workflows could empower the workers, improve safety, reduce human error… The word on the street is that AR technology could revolutionise operations, nothing less.  Truly, AR can indeed help organisations optimise their operations and

Is this your challenge ? When it comes to inspection or maintenance, complex industry such as nuclear still relies a lot on human presence. That said, in the past few years, to plan for the upcoming workforce shortage as well as offering new options to safely assess constrained environments, robotic solutions have more and more […]
