Inspection robots enhance nuclear safety. In collaboration with the European Commission, the Joint Research Centre, and Posiva Oy, ANYmal autonomously patrols and monitors Onkalo’s depths at Finland’s spent nuclear fuel repository. Conducting tasks such as visual asset monitoring ANYmal’s advanced mobility and offline operation make it ideal for harsh conditions, ensuring thorough inspections.

This 30-minute installation robot is able to extract foreign material on fuel assemblies in less than 15 minutes. Totally safe and controlled to use, PELICAN avoids any damage to the fuel assemblies. Its reduced dimensions make it easy to be transported directly to the fuel building through the auxiliary building. Because no matter how difficult to access places are, some operations are essential to the availability and safety of the nuclear plants: PELICAN has been developed by Framatome to allow the extraction of foreign material potentially present among the fuel assemblies, whatever its position.

Recently, Oxford Dynamics revealed its robot, Strider. The bot will improve safety in environments with various threats and can even survive dangerous nuclear events. The company plans to produce as many as 10,000 bots. Watch our video to learn more about the resilient robot. 

There are two alternative perspectives on what this chart means: either uranium and nuclear power plants are a terrific investment, or AI will have a great deal less impact on the future of ordinary people than is currently believed. Do you have any idea how much it costs to build a nuclear power plant? No...? Well, nobody else does either. The costs are astronomical and uncapped and they rise every time a design is discussed. And that's another thing...there is no current "design" and the design models under discussion are not considered the "final" approach as the preferred, safer approach (including a sarcophagus in the event of a compromise or meltdown) has never been finalized. The silver lining is that the concerns of how AI would cause the robots to take control of us or kill us off are likely wildly overstated. The robots can't afford it, either. 😎

I've had a fascinating day today being a delegate at the Office for Nuclear Regulation's Annual Conference. There were many notable themes within the discussions, but three of the most simple points really stood out to me: 1. "as low as reasonably practicable" is only meaningful with consideration of context. 2. AI is a tool, not a solution. 3. Mutual respect between the regulator, the regulated, and all other parties involved is an accomplishment (that everyone involved can be proud of, including me). Finally, I can't post without commenting that I've had a conference first today: watching an AI-generated avatar (impersonating ONR's Director of Regulation) deliverying an AI-authored presentation💡

In our latest technology news roundup episode, RJ Bardsley joins me as guest co-host to discuss Amazon and other Big Tech investments in nuclear power to drive data centers and artificial intelligence power needs; as well as how SpaceX, Tesla robots and nuclear waste might all be connected. And does the logistics industry (FedEx, UPS, etc.) really care about porch piracy? You'll have to watch the episode to hear our thoughts. https://lnkd.in/dgiGCduY
