Meeting the growing needs of the nuclear back-end requires the availability of a dedicated workforce as well as the optimisation of the tasks and schedules due to competing projects and sites. The adoption of robotics and remote systems (RRS) could be a significant support by minimising the human exposure and risks associated with back-end activities, but also by allowing new applications which could improve back-end operations. 

In order to support this adoption, the Expert Group on the Application of Robotics and Remote Systems in the Nuclear Back-end (EGRRS) is organising a series of webinars to share lessons learnt with a wider audience. 

The second webinar in the series will feature the following presentations:

1. The future for Robotics at Sellafield and the R&AI strategy
   Rav Chunilal - Head of Robotics & Artificial Intelligence
2. Active demonstrators and use cases
   Nicholas Clarke - T&I, Remediation Technical
3. Sludge clearing technolgy and robot use
   Alex Jones - CE&I Responsible Engineer / Intelligent Customer and Robotic SME
