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 third webinar in the series will feature the following presentations:

1. Robotic and remote-controlled retrieval of radioactive waste from the Asse Ⅱ mine
   Jasmin Müller and Dr Julia Lemke - BGE, Germany
2. Autonomous mobile robots for deep geological repositories
   Heikki Laitinen - SKB, Sweden
3. Monitoring system and technologies for emplacing engineered barrier in the Horonobe Underground Research Laboratory
   

   Kazuhei Aoyagi and Hirokazu Ohno - JAEA, Japan

• Date & time: 7 March 2025, 10:00 - 12:00 (CET)
• Location: Online (Zoom)
