LongOps

LongOps in a £12 million project to develop novel technology to safely dismantle the Fukushima Daiichi reactors and other old nuclear facilities. It is a collaborative project between Japan and the UK. Currently, the project is working on using long reach robot arms to expedite the decommissioning process while reducing risks to human lives. The robot is also to be deployed at England’s Sellafield, which saw some 21 incidents of radiological leakages between 1950 and 200.
