In a groundbreaking development at the Sellaf ield nuclear site in Cumbria, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are being utilised to ensure the safety of employees during the decommissioning process. These state-of-the-art drones are equipped with advanced technology, including Lidar sensors and radiation activity detection (RAD) dosimeters, and play a crucial part in mapping potential radiation hotspots within the nuclear site. The procedure begins with the deployment of the Elios 3 drone which is equipped with Lidar sensors. These sensors allow the UAV team, who are located at a safe distance, to gather detailed data about the site's layout and structures. Additionally, the drone is equipped with a RAD dosimeter which enables them to detect and measure radiation levels in various areas of the facility. |
