Game Changers Innovation Programme

In collaboration with the <A HREF="http://www.manchester.ac.uk/collaborate/business-engagement/knowledge-exchange/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">University of Manchester Knowledge Exchange Team</A>, we invite you to join us for a one day 'challenge' event where you can bring your innovative smart technology and digital solutions to meet the challenges of nuclear decommissioning.
Smart Technology and Digital Solutions – Supporting the Nuclear Decommissioning Mission presenting the specifics of the latest decommissioning challenges: • Thermal Treatment - Mark Dowson / Charlie Scales • Knowledge Rich Decommissioning - Dr Mike Edmondson • Industry 4.0’s Role in Decommissioning - Tom Robinson • Surveillance and Maintenance - Andrew Cooney
<H2>THE CHALLENGE</H2>
The decommissioning of the Sellafield site is a complex process, with significant challenges presented by the hazardous nature of the environments involved. Advances could be made if decommissioning plans could be made on comprehensive and robust datasets.
This event will help you understand the challenges smart technology faces in the arena of nuclear decommissioning and provides the opportunity to discuss with experts how your technologies or innovations could be developed and deployed, and learn more about the financial support available.
