Cleaning Sellafield: Nuclear AI

Robotic arms use AI vision to look into boxes of mixed nuclear waste.

Robotic arms use AI vision to look into boxes of mixed nuclear waste. They identify items (gloves, metal, fuel rods) and sort them into the correct disposal streams. This reduces the volume of high-level waste, saving billions.
