Robotics and Artificial Intelligence for Nuclear Plus (RAIN+)

Lead Research Organisation: University of Manchester
Department Name: Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Abstract

The nuclear industry has a vast array of highly complex and diverse challenges that span decommissioning, waste management, fission power plants, advanced modular reactors and fusion reactors. In the UK, one of the most significant challenges is to decommission legacy storage facilities. There is estimated to be approximately 3,000 tonnes of high-level waste (HLW), 310,000 tonnes of intermediate level waste (ILW) and hundreds of radioactive facilities that need to be decommissioned in the UK alone. Despite significant progress during the first phase of RAIN, decommissioning continues to rely almost exclusively on manual operations, requiring people to enter extremely hazardous environments placing themselves at risk. Significant amounts of personal protective equipment (PPE) is required, which reduces dexterity and lowers productivity to levels significantly below that of other industries. PPE also adds significantly to the waste materials that must be disposed of and as a consequence, makes some future operations infeasible. For example, it has been estimated that more than 1 million suited entries will be required to decommission the THORP plant alone on the Sellafield site. RAI technologies are therefore considered essential if the UK is to address its decommissioning challenges. In the future generation of nuclear power, fusion reactors will not be able to operate without advances being made to remote handling equipment. In addition, remote inspection and maintenance of new fission reactors is essential if they are to be commercially viable.

RAIN+ will continue to push the boundaries of Robotics and AI (RAI) science, developing robotic solutions that solve major challenges facing the nuclear sector. To ensure that the work is relevant, has a long-term impact on industry, and leads to deployments of RAI technology into active facilities, RAIN will continue to work in close partnership with nuclear end-users, the supply chain and regulators. Furthermore, recognising that many of the hazards encountered in the nuclear industry are prevalent in other industry sectors, such as agriculture, construction, offshore and healthcare, RAIN will work to expand its user and application base such that RAI solutions can be developed that have cross-sector relevance and a single hub for all challenging environments, not just nuclear, can be established towards the end of this second phase.

Description Tools developed during the original RAIN programme were taken forward and integrated together, leading to two technology demonstrators:

Remote Handling: Automated collision avoidance techniques were integrated with low-level control systems, grasping techniques and fault detection and isolation routines to create a semi-autonomous robotic glovebox system. This robotic glovebox has the potential to keep operators remote from such environments, reducing risk.

Remote Inspection: Modularised exploration routines integrating collision avoidance and high-level mission planning have been developed and demonstrators developed on multiple robotic platforms. The integrated systems have been demonstrated in both demonstration and active, industrial environments.

With an initial focus on addressing nuclear challenges, RAIN+ has allowed the work to be extended to other industrial environments: offshore, healthcare etc.
Exploitation Route The technologies developed in this project can be used by industry to address their challenges, allowing assets to be inspected and dismantled more rapidly than is possible using manual methods and enabling operational staff to be kept away from risks associated with challenging environments, such as radiation, elevated temperatures etc.

The low-level systems developed in this project can be used by researchers to provide both a benchmark of robotic capability and a platform to build new technologies from.

Description RAIN+ has led to multiple non-academic impacts. In particular: - The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Collaboration (RAICo) has been established in Cumbria. This is a collaborative facility that has been established with considerable funding from Sellafield Ltd and provides a capability in Cumbria that links the RAIN+ programme with Sellafield Ltd and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority with the intention of translating technology onto the Sellafield site and other nuclear sites in the UK. The work with Sellafield has led to culture changes at Sellafield and at other nuclear sites in the UK. - RAIN+ has supported the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) in understanding the benefits that robotics and AI may provide the nuclear industry and the barriers that need to be overcome for these benefits to be achieved. This has led to a comprehensive programme of work between the ONR and Sellafield Ltd, which aims to enable the nuclear industry benefit from this relatively new technology. - Working in collaboration with the ORCA Hub, the potential benefits of digital technologies have been identified and this has led to the development of the 'Cyber-Physical' initiative, which is influencing UK Government in this area. - A comprehensive webinar programme has enabled the key highlights from the RAIN and RAIN+ programmes to be disseminated to both the nuclear and wider industries.

PI Contribution Our team developed a tracked robotic platform capable of accessing a small, hard to reach area and complete radiological and visual characterisation. We integrated 4 radiation sensors and also a 5 d.o.f manipulator to use for swabbing of the environment for radiological analysis.
Collaborator Contribution DSRL offered expertise and insight into the requirements for deploying robotic platforms on-site, they visited our facilities as well as developing and building a test facility on-site that represented the real-world environment. This was used for commissioning of our robotic platform. They also defined the desired radiation sensors and facilitiated on-site demonstrations of the technology. I2C facilitated interaction with DSRL site staff and supported the development of the robotic platform.
Impact Multiple visits to site demonstrating robot capability, led to an initial survey in Sept 21 where the robot was deployed into the required environment. Much was learnt from this deployment, leading to a desire to iterate the robotic platform further and come back for a further survey. This further survey took place and was completed in Feb/Mar 22 amounting to a large amount of data gathered for Dounreay site personnel and expertise gained by the RAIN consortium. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-53763880

Results and Impact he nuclear energy sector finds itself at a crossroads- in the US as well as globally. Environmentalists and policymakers are increasingly calling for nuclear energy to make substantial contributions to our future low carbon energy systems, even as nuclear energy remains at the center of polarizing debates about nuclear waste, safety, proliferation, and inequitable treatment of communities of color displaced or harmed by nuclear facilities. Reimagining a new future for the nuclear sector requires repairing and building trust with society and a responsible stewardship of nuclear technologies and nuclear wastes that centers principles of environmental justice. Through this conversation, we hope to begin to reimagine the technological, institutional, intellectual, and ethical foundations of the nuclear energy sector.

Results and Impact The Hot Robotics NNUF facility in Bristol put on a 2-day Nuclear Threat Reduction training exercise, where a University facility to the South of Bristol was used to simulate a nuclear research laboratory that had been ransacked by occupying enemy forces and then later liberated. The exercise was focused on using advanced detectors and robotics available from the hot Robotics facility, alongside prototype scanning systems developed in RAIN+, to help to rapidly survey the facility and determine radiological and other physical/chemical hazards.

The exercise involved participants from the Ukrainian government nuclear department, the EU's nuclear team, Magnox, DNO, AWE, NNL and Sellafield.
The primary aim was to provide training and awareness as to how such a facility, in Ukraine, might be rapidly surveyed either during or after the existing conflict.
