SUMMARY:Remote Operations in Challenging Environments Training Course
DESCRIPTION:What does it take to maintain or decommission a plant using remotely operated robots and cameras?\n\n\n\nThis course aims to provide managers\, designers and operators with a broad view of the Remote Operations specialism including: \n\n\n\n\ndesign and specification of remotely operated equipment\n\n\n\nrules for tool design\n\n\n\nsoftware infrastructure must-haves for efficiency\, safety and accountability\n\n\n\nrisk reduction measures in high consequence environments\n\n\n\nbuilding a remote operations team – people\, processes and culture\n\n\n\nplant design considerations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho this course is for?\n\n\n\nThis course is designed for professionals involved in strategy\, design and operations from organisations: \n\n\n\n\nat the concept design stage – seeking to understand how to ‘design for remote’ and its impact on commercial viability\n\n\n\nwithout remote operations experience – needing to learn how to develop a functioning system and build a successful team\n\n\n\naiming to operate ‘safer\, faster\, more cost‑effectively’ – looking to introduce human-in-the-loop remote operations\n\n\n\nlooking to upskill their workforce in remote operations while leveraging existing remote infrastructure and facilities\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur approach\n\n\n\nInteractive and engaging courses: discussions and hands-on sessions reinforce the core principles. \n\n\n\nUse of industry-leading robotic equipment at RACE for firsthand experience. \n\n\n\nUniversal application of principles: While the principles taught have been developed in the fusion sector\, they are relevant to any environment where remote equipment is used and mistakes could be costly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRemote handling at UKAEA\n\n\n\nRACE is the UKAEA’s centre for Remote Applications in Challenging Environments. Its Remote Handling Team has been remotely maintaining the Joint European Torus (JET)\, a fusion machine located in Oxfordshire\, since the 1980s. Currently\, in its decommissioning phase\, JET is being stripped from the inside out using teleoperated equipment deployed on robotic booms. \n\n\n\nWith over 30\,000 hours of in-vessel operational experience\, RACE provides training and consultancy services to remote handling teams in the UK\, the US\, Sweden and Fukushima in Japan\, spanning the fusion\, big science and nuclear decommissioning sectors. \n\n\n\nUtilising robotics to perform tasks ensures the safety of personnel by keeping them out of hazardous environments\, speeds up task completion and reduces costs. Such specialised experience is rare in the industry due to the time required to develop it. Through this course\, we aim to share our knowledge and equip professionals across various sectors with the essential skills for remote operations. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Remote Handling Training Course – developing skills with UKAEA.\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDates\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

Its platform generates novel\, transparent and defensible decision options grounded in real-world constraints.\n\n\n\nC3 Systems is using novel semiconducting materials to build the next generation of radiation-hardened electronic end-to-end systems for extreme environments encountered in fission\, fusion and space.\n\n\n\nDigital twin software for fusion components is from the University of York. It aims at extending the operational lifetime of high-risk\, high-value components in fusion power plants (starting with divertors). The approach uses sensor data\, AI\, and physics-based modelling to support predictive maintenance and better component management under extreme conditions\n\n\n\nFusion Energy Partners delivers trusted technical expertise to investors\, fusion technology developers\, and supply chain organisations. It navigates strategic opportunities in the rapidly evolving fusion energy market.\n\n\n\nMuWave\, a high-power microwave engineering and technology company. It is developing low-cost\, high-end next generation microwave technologies for fusion\, geothermal and other emerging markets. MuWave is approaching its seed round to develop the second product line of high power gyrotrons using proprietary solutions.\n\n\n\nSingular Machines is transforming how complex engineering gets done. Its platform\, coEngen\, uses frontier AI to design complex machinery\, facilities and infrastructure end to end. It compresses work that used to take large teams months into days and increases quality and traceability.\n\n\n\nSimvue from UKAEA is an AI-powered platform that transforms complex data and simulations into AI-ready and reproducible data. It helps organisations accelerate operations\, reduce computational costs\, and make better decisions. Simvue is currently seeking seed investment to accelerate commercial growth\, expand AI capabilities\, and scale adoption across engineering\, science\, energy\, finance and other high-performance computing sectors.\n\n\n\nStandardX is building the world’s first isotope refinery for credible commercial supply. It is a single accelerator platform producing the full isotope portfolio from one machine. It is starting with medical radioisotopes that today’s cancer care and next-generation therapeutics depend on. The same platform\, at higher energy and greater scale\, can supply tritium as the fusion industry scales towards deployment.\n\n\n\nTuNED for Medical Isotopes is a UKAEA-developed beam converter. It transforms compact accelerators into precision neutron sources with tailored neutron fields. This could help relieve bottlenecks around medical isotope production from fission reactors\, to strengthen industrial resilience and improve human health.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation
