Pile Fuel Cladding Silo – Potential use of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for waste retrieval
NES’ facilities at Beckermet, Cumbria have hosted a demonstration showing the use of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and how they could be potentially used as part of the decommissioning process. Commissioned by Sellafield Ltd via Cavendish Nuclear who are part of Progressive DSA, NES have been working alongside Sellafield Ltd to demonstrate the concept of utilising tried and tested remote operated vehicles (ROVs) to extract Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) from the Pile Fuel Cladding Silo (PFCS) for containerisation and storage in purpose built stores on the Sellafield site.
