SUMMARY:Robot Lab Live
DESCRIPTION:Robot Lab Live is a virtual robotics showcase featuring 16 of the UK’s top robotics research groups. Each team will show-off their cutting-edge robots and autonomous systems simultaneously to live audiences on YouTube. You can flick between different demos running during the two-hour livestream\, ask questions and interact with the research teams in the chat. \nNNUF Hot Robotics Showcase \n \nThe Bristol Fenswood facility is one of four partners in the National Nuclear User Facility for Hot Robotics (NNUF-HR). NNUF-HR is home to a wide variety of equipment\, including robotic manipulators\, drones\, ground vehicles and sensors which are available for hire to both academia and industry. This demo will showcase technology available at NNUF-HR Bristol\, being used in a radioactive dispersal event scenario. It will consist of a large\, tracked SuperDroid robot combined with a KUKA LBR iiwa robotic manipulator and an attached sensor package. The system will be used to identify hazardous materials in its environment.  \nThe Superdroid tracked robot with a mounted KUKA LBR iiwa robotic manipulator

SUMMARY:An overview of ONR Safeguards
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear safeguards are measures to verify that countries comply with their international obligations not to use nuclear materials from their civil nuclear programmes to manufacture nuclear weapons. \nFollowing the end of the post EU exit transition period\, and the UK exiting Euratom on 31 December 2020\, ONR is now the UK’s nuclear safeguards regulator\, responsible for the domestic safeguards regime and operating the UK’s State System of Accountancy for and Control of Nuclear Materials (SSAC). \nOver the last three years\, ONR has worked with UK government\, nuclear industry and other stakeholders to build the necessary capability and capacity to ensure that UK continues to meet its international safeguards obligations and play a lead role on the world stage to ensure that nuclear materials continue to be used for peaceful purposes. \nWe welcome you to a short presentation and a discussion on this important subject on the 27th January 2021 at 10:30am. \nSpeakers\n \nMahtab Khan – ONR Safeguards Delivery Lead\nMahtab has worked in the nuclear industry and its regulation for nearly 20 years. As the Delivery Lead at ONR\, he leads a team of around 30 safeguards specialists and consultants supporting safeguards implementation in the UK. \nAlan Homer – ONR Safeguards Professional Lead\nAlan has worked in the field of nuclear material accountancy\, control and safeguards for 13 years. He is the Professional Lead for Safeguards at ONR. \nRegistration\nRegistration is free via the Institute of Physics website. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/1635/home" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Registration[/button]\n

SUMMARY:The Curious Incident of the (Robot) Dog in the Nuclear Environment
DESCRIPTION:Institute of Physics Materials and Characterisation Group Christmas Lecture\nIt is a generally well accepted argument that when it comes to surveying high activity nuclear facilities\, robots offer a potentially safer and preferable solution to using human beings. In this IOP seminar we will tell the tale of why walking robots offer an eye catching but also technically sensible approach for surveying certain legacy nuclear facilities\, culminating with ground-breaking deployments inside the Chernobyl New Safe Confinement (NSC) building. \nSpeaker - Professor Tom Scott\n \nProfessor Tom Scott is Director of the Interface Analysis Centre (IAC) at the University of Bristol\, and lead for the newly established National Nuclear User Facility for Hot Robotics. \nHe is also a Royal Academy of Engineering Professorial Research Fellow co-funded by the AWE\, Director of the South West Nuclear Hub and lectures in both the School of Physics and the School of Earth Sciences at Bristol. \nHis research expertise is around the detection and characterisation of nuclear materials\, to aid prediction of their behaviour in engineered and environmental scenarios. This includes a specific strand of activity relating to nuclear robotics and sensors. He works closely with the nuclear industry in the UK and overseas to deliver characterisation and decontamination solutions for nuclear decommissioning. \nRegistration\nThe event is open to all and free to attend\, but pre-registration is required via the Institute of Physics website. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=1009586&eventID=1618&language=1&CSPCHD=000001000000cr4r95XQUIDOqda7nWUJayiQE82sZ9QqCqUXPu" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]

SUMMARY:The Saga of UK Radioactive Waste Disposal
DESCRIPTION:The Western Regional Group is pleased to welcome Dr. Ian Crossland nuclear specialist with more than 50 years’ experience of the nuclear industry. For the past thirty years he has specialised in radioactive waste management with a particular interest in disposal. He has first-hand experience of the roller-coaster ride produced by the many swings of UK policy in this area. \n \nThe UK has a small mountain of radioactive waste that is stored at many locations around the country. This is the legacy of almost 100 years’ exploitation of nuclear technology in research\, medicine\, weapons and electricity production. Some of this waste will remain dangerous for millennia. Even if we were to stop\nproducing it\, the legacy of past years would still need to be safely managed to prevent its being a danger to the public. But what to do? Do we continue to store it and\, by so doing\, pass on the burden of care to future generations? Or do we seek a permanent solution and thereby honour both intergenerational equity and the\n“polluter pays” maxim? \nThe talk outlines the fundamental science that underpins geological disposal\, the development\, over the past half-century\, of UK radioactive waste management policy\, the several failed attempts to implement geological disposal and the current campaign to find and implement a permanent solution. \nRegistration\nThis talk will be given via Zoom\, hosted by The Geological Society\, Western Regional Group. \n[button link="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwkcOyorzsiHtAHKdp3XflmhGktBznYEMTT" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]

SUMMARY:Managing the risks and consequences of a large polluting accident
DESCRIPTION:The J-value framework (J for Judgement) is an integrated methodology that generates objective advice on how much should be spent to avert human harm and environmental loss. It estimates the maximum it is reasonable to spend on a safety measure or system by balancing the safety expenditure against the increase life expectancy it brings about. \nAt its core is the concept of the life-quality index (LQI)\, which is an increasing function of both life expectancy and annual utility\, with risk-aversion used to convert monetary income to utility – the satisfaction that the money brings. The maximum reasonable expenditure will have been reached when the increase in the LQI due to the greater life expectancy the safety measure confers is just matched by the decrease in life quality associated with the fall in income incurred by paying for it. \nThe presentations will challenge the conventional thinking of how to manage the consequences of both large nuclear accidents and large polluting accidents and will demonstrate how the J-value can aid decision-making by Governments\, Regulatory Bodies and other organisations concerned with post-accident response. \n12.00 – 12.20 - Presentation by Professor Philip Thomas: Professor of Risk Management\, University of Bristol \n12.20 – 12.40 - Presentation by Dr Ian Waddington: Senior Software Engineer \n12.40 – 13.00 - Discussion forum (Q&A) chaired by Mr Nick Shaw: Chair of Board of Trustees\, Hazards Forum \nRegistration\nYou can register for this free webinar via the ICE website. \n[button link="https://www.ice.org.uk/events/managing-risk-of-large-polluting-accident-online" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]
