Sellafield & RAICo facility simulator
Virtual Innovation Enhances Nuclear Waste Handling Safety at Sellafield A cutting-edge simulation project is transforming how nuclear waste is managed at one of the UK’s most hazardous legacy facilities—Sellafield’s Pile Fuel Cladding Silo (PFCS). Originally built in the 1950s, the PFCS is now being decommissioned, with robotic systems playing a vital role in safely handling...Continue reading→
ZNPP successfully reconnect Ukraine’s electrical grid
The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Ukraine has been successfully reconnected to the national grid after enduring a full month without external power. This reconnection was made possible through repairs conducted under a locally negotiated ceasefire, facilitated and monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The restored 750 kV Dniprovska power line now...Continue reading→
