SUMMARY:UKAEA public open evening - September 2026
DESCRIPTION:We’d like to invite the public to UKAEA’s open evening. \n\n\n\nOur open evenings offer you a unique opportunity to see in person some of the amazing work we are doing to develop sustainable fusion energy. You will receive: \n\n\n\n\nan introductory talk covering the basics of fusion energy\n\n\n\ntours of the world’s largest fusion experiment – the world record breaking Joint European Torus (JET) and our Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) Upgrade\n\n\n\n\nThe tours will be led by engineers\, scientists and technicians\, who are currently working on the experiments. You are guaranteed a genuine insight into what it’s like to work in fusion energy. You will have the opportunity to ask our passionate researchers anything about our work here at UKAEA. \n\n\n\nBring your questions and curiosity as you discover just how on Earth we are creating star-power and see two of the leading facilities responsible for this ground-breaking research\, pushing us closer to delivering fusion energy for all. \n\n\n\nTickets will go live on Wednesday 8 July. \n\n\n\nPlease note anyone attending this event is required to wear closed-toe shoes and a hard hat (a hard hat will be provided on the day). \n\n\n\nThis open evening is intended for the general public. If you work at UKAEA\, please sign up for the Friends and Family Open Evening instead\, which will be available to book soon. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nYou must register by completing the registration form. We encourage you to log in to Indico (the web-based event management system hosting this site) to register.  \n\n\n\n\n\nWho can attend\n\n\n\nYou are welcome to attend with friends and family up to a maximum of 10 tickets per group. There is a minimum age limit of 12 years old. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. \n\n\n\nThere is high demand and limited availability for tickets. Please only register if you are confident you can attend. This helps us manage resources and places effectively. \n\n\n\nTicket and key dates\n\n\n\nThis event is in person. There are limited tickets so we may need to close registration earlier than the advertised deadline. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

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
