The LongOps project will develop innovative robotic technologies Britain and Japan have signed a research and technology deployment collaboration to help automate nuclear decommissioning and aspects of fusion energy production. A world-leading alliance, it will see new robotics and automation techniques applied to both fusion research and to decommissioning nuclear facilities in Japan and the UK. The £12M UK-Japanese robotics project, called “LongOps”, will support delivery of faster and safer decommissioning at TEPCO’s Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors in Japan and at Sellafield in ...

UK and Japan tackle legacy of Fukushima and Sellafield with robotics collaboration 20 Jan 2021 A long arm robotics system for nuclear decommissioning (Credit: Nuclear Decommissioning Authority) Dangerous radioactive material from Fukushima and Sellafield will be retrieved by robots thanks to a new collaboration between the UK and Japan. The £12m LongOps project is also aimed at automating aspects of nuclear fusion energy production, alongside decommissioning goals. The four-year research collaboration will use long-reach robotic arms to make decommissioning faster and sa...
