RAICo

Company Profile

The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Collaboration (RAICo) is a collaboration between the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), Sellafield Ltd and the University of Manchester. Bringing together end-user teams from both fission and fusion sectors, RAICo develops robotics and AI technologies that are required for the deployment of remotely operated solutions for fission decommissioning and future fusion powerplants. ​ Using robotics and AI in hazardous nuclear decommissioning environments will provide the step-change in capabilities needed to move towards a faster, safer and more cost-effective set of next generation activities. The knowledge from the research and development for decommissioning will also develop essential expertise in bringing fusion generated electricity to the grid.​ ​ The programme actively engages with the supply chain as part of socioeconomic initiatives in Cumbria.
