Nuclear Back End Webinar Series 4.11 - Launching new coordinated research project on Innovative Digital Technologies for Efficient Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities (DEDICATE)

Nuclear decommissioning is a complex process, that typically involves stages such as characterization, decontamination, dismantling, waste management, and site restoration. Innovative solutions like advanced simulations, open-source artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative AI to address unique decommissioning challenges are playing an important role in decommissioning enhancement. Our focus is on how cutting-edge digital technologies can support the stages across various nuclear facilities.The IAEA is launching a new Coordinated Research Project on Innovative Digital Technologies for the Efficient Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities (DEDICATE) aimed at helping to transform the decommissioning of nuclear facilities using those types of technologies.The CRP will enhance international cooperation and support countries in planning and implementing decommissioning operations.This webinar aims to provide insights into the use of robotics and digital technologies in planning, management, and dismantling processes, to ensure efficient and sustainable project outcomes. It is suitable for professionals interested in leveraging technology to improve decommissioning activities.
