“Spot” is on trial at the site – which is being decommissioned as part of a £3.2billion project – at Dounreay in Caithness
To prepare for work at the facility, Spot was tested on a gridded fire escape. The robot carries out surveying work in contaminated areas where human entry is not possible.
Operator Dounreay Site Restoration Limited has been working with Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Nuclear , a consortium of universities. The decommissioning of Dounreay is recognised as one of Europe’s most complex nuclear closure programmes. The work is being delivered by DSRL, a subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
