Britain and Japan embarked on a research and technology development project called LongOps to help deploy remote handling technologies in decommissioning and aspects of fusion energy production in 2021.
Since then, it has formed a world-leading alliance which has successfully developed new robotics and artificial intelligence technologies that can be applied to both fusion research and to decommissioning nuclear facilities in Japan and the UK.
RACE, the UKAEA’s centre for Remote Applications in Challenging Environments, has put together a project report summarising the work conducted, the project’s achievements and stakeholders’ testimonials. The executive summary is now available to download from the RACE website.
