Nucleco at DigiDECOM 2024
19 November 2024
From 12 to 15 November, Nucleco participated in the DigiDECOM
2024, international conference, held in Hoden (Norway) and organised by the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE),
as a collaboration centre of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), for the HTO project of the OECD NEA in Halden and the Norwegian Nuclear Research Centre.
During the conference, which saw Sogin and numerous important stakeholders in the nuclear sector attending, topics related to decommissioning and the sustainable management of the entire life cycle of nuclear facilities were addressed, with a particular focus on the application of artificial intelligence and the role of digitalization and robotics to increase safety and efficiency.
Specifically, Nucleco addressed the session on Wednesday, 13 November on "New initiatives and emerging technologies & Advanced training tools and methods". In particular, a presentation was made on the "Andromeda” project, developed by the Technological Development and Digital Innovation Area of Nucleco. This refers to an integrated system that uses advanced hardware and software technologies to create a 3D digital copy of a nuclear facility, including physical and radiological information, in support of decommissioning and waste management activities.
During the same session, Sogin also discussed the subject of "3D modelling of Caorso's Reactor Building: creation of an interactive tool for the decommissioning of Caorso NPP".
The participation of the Sogin Group in international events such as DigiDECOM 2024 represents an opportunity to share technologies and expertise in the sector, confirming Nucleco's commitment to technological innovation and sustainability.
