Is this your challenge ? Either to transfer effluent, liquor, chemicals or steam to and from facilities, pipework is essential on a nuclear site. Often operated under extreme conditions during their operational life, these networks of pipes (and by extension tanks and vessels), are existing with varied diameters, lengths or changing isometries.Essential

Is this your challenge ? Nuclear Decommissioning & Dismantling projects are driving strong demand for robotic assistance. Thanks to progress in the field of artificial intelligence and computer vision, robotics are allowing tremendous progress in the field of autonomy in extreme environments such as nuclear. That said, human expertise (such as manual dex

With the fourth industrial revolution currently undergoing across the globe, AI is on everybody’s lips. Is AI in nuclear also a thing ? Would we see one day an AI piloting a nuclear reactor? This debate already started a whilst back. As seen here, the U.S. Department Of Energy published an analysis back in 1985. […]

The European Union Research Group (JRC) has just issued a detailed report on the possible impact of nuclear energy on humans and the environment. The report comes at a time when Europe is engaging in a complex taxonomy assessment. This taxonomy will classify which economic activities in the European Union (EU) can be considered as […]

For the past few weeks, all the nuclear industry has heard about the EU Taxonomy. JRC – the EU commission technical arm – has declared that nuclear energy does not harm the environment. Many articles have been published on how nuclear should be included in the EU taxonomy but actually very few have explained what […]

SMR’s, the latest nuclear innovation? No doubt you have heard about SMR’s – Small Modular Reactors – / AMR’s – Advanced Modular Reactors – over the past few years. These small reactors – 300 MWe per module max – have even eclipsed the Gen IV reactors. Are SMR’s the next nuclear innovation? With over

Is this your challenge ? Pressure difference is critical in the nuclear industry. Either from one cell to another to avoid spreading any airborne contamination or in gloveboxes to protect field operators. In terms of operations, a wide range of equipment also requires pressurised air or inert gas to operate. These assets tend to run […]

Is this your challenge ? Whoever has looked at finding specific solutions for challenges in the nuclear industry knows it is extremely rare to find fit-for-purpose innovation oriented start-ups or solutions, because there are so few in the nuclear world. We all know that technological innovation is now an entrepreneurial issue that has the potential [&hellip

Is this your challenge ? Paperwork is a necessary evil in the nuclear industry or in any complex sector. How much time do you spend writing risk analysis, work packages, quality plans, etc. before executing your on-site job ? How much Word and Excel documents do you have to produce even though you have a […]
