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.
