Immersive Tech Reshapes Nuclear Decommissioning

⊲ Energy Live News ⊳ AtkinsRéalis, Sellafield Ltd and Igloo Vision have developed an immersive environment at the RAICo1 facility in West Cumbria to enhance nuclear decommissioning operations. Combining remotely operated robotics, live data and interactive 360-degree visuals, the system allows teams of up to ten people to virtually inspect routes, rehearse tasks and test approaches before entering hazardous areas. Virtual monitoring is expected to cut time spent in hazardous environments by 40%, helping teams plan work and respond more quickly to emerging issues.
⊲ A 40% reduction in hazardous exposure time could reshape how Sellafield schedules future decommissioning of its ageing nuclear estate. ⊳
