I want talk about how to improve the next generation of nuclear facility construction. There are many factors involved and will take more time than this posting will allow. Therefore, I will post a series of our history and recommendations over the next few months. What went wrong in the previous generation?  A multitude of studies have been completed to analyze the issues. Let us start with costs. First, we need to define some terms: direct costs and indirect costs. Direct costs are the costs of materials and labor for building the reactor equipment and the turbine/generator side of the plant. Indirect costs are all the other “stuff.” This includes construction support such as engineering, temporary construction facilities, payroll insurance/taxes, management, and construction tools and equipment. Now, what caused the horrible cost overruns of the past? Well, given the obvious complexity of the technology it should be easy to see right? It would be the plant itself: the reactor and turbine generator. The sad truth however is you would be wrong. Those indirect costs mentioned above accounted for roughly 72% of the cost increase in nuclear power plants of the past. When we next build, one key will be to “act fast” when we break ground.

I think all involved with this project at KUKA can be rightly proud of their acheivements. A great example of how to deploy industrial robots in one of the harshest environments know to mankind. Truly world class engineering to overcome a series on unique challenges. #KUKA #innovation #decommissioning #robotics #nuclear #ukmanufacturing #systemintegration

KUKA robots are used in many hazardous environments where the handling and management of dangerous materials must be undertaken without any human intervention. Our system partners rely upon the repeatability, accuracy, and fortitude of the KUKA products to design and deliver solutions to industry, to safely manage hazardous materials in challenging environments. This is a fascinating story, more of which can be read on Sellafield's website (link below) Dave Burns #materialshandling #hazardousmaterials #automation #robotics #wastemanagement #industrialrobotics

The topic of nuclear arose during a conversation in Glasgow last week. There is no urgency from the powers that be to sort the UK's legacy nuclear waste. The scary part is some of the storage facilities in which it is held are as old as the hills. This is a step in the right direction, but there is so much more that needs to be done...

For energy and finance professionals, here's the latest 𝗡𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 report, published on October 29, 2024 by U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information. The main reason I'm reposting it is to counter the recent wave of dilettante publications on new nuclear which operate with vague descriptive categories and promiscuously picked facts but offer derogatory opinions on SMRs - a clear malpractice with an agenda, overstepping into violation of criminal laws on publicly traded securities. This solid official kind of material will establish a standard for qualified discussions, I hope. Let us increase its circulation please.

Do you have knowledge and experience of digital document or record management at scale? Join us on Tuesday 3 September to find out more about our latest Game Changers challenge and how you can get involved. The Nuclear Safety Case is the body of evidence that justifies and demonstrates that nuclear hazards are adequately managed, that operations are safe and that associated risks are reduced to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). All related documents are subject to constant ongoing revision. There are no live links between these documents, which exist in a variety of formats. Sellafield Ltd is seeking techniques, technologies or methodologies to improve the efficiency of managing its Nuclear Safety Cases, moving them to a fully digital process, which is trackable and which consistently and accurately updates thousands of interlinked documents. Why attend? 1️⃣ Introduction to the nuclear sector: Hear directly from Sellafield stakeholders about this and other opportunities in decommissioning. 2️⃣ Collaborative potential: Discover how the Game Changers programme can support the development of your groundbreaking solutions. 3️⃣ Funding opportunities: Find out about how Game Changers funding can make reputational and commercial success a reality.
