Abstract

The University of Manchester is one of the leading academic nuclear research centres in the UK. An import part of the engineering research at Manchester is being conducted to support the decommissioning plan for the Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria. The primary focus of this research is the remote characterization of legacy waste using semi-autonomous systems. The main challenges at Sellafield are unique for a number of reasons and relate to the legacy fuel storage facilities (both dry and wet) which were built between 1950 and 1980. The University of Manchester is developing a number of semi-autonomous systems for this characterization challenge.
