The opportunity to develop the next generation of nuclear decommissioning practices requires collective action. The journey to testing, proving, commercialising and deploying nuclear robotics and AI is complex, expensive and prohibitive. The £5 million ACORN programme will help to address that challenge, supporting a community of research organisations, commercial enterprises and nuclear operators to foster a culture of innovation, develop strategic partnerships, and kickstart the transfer of knowledge and technology.
When we work together, our approach to good environmental stewardship, clean up, and protecting and looking after resources sets the standard across the globe. The partnerships, innovations, and initiatives activated by ACORN are building on the UK’s world-leading expertise in nuclear management to deliver improved safety, economic growth, equal opportunity, and shared prosperity across Oxfordshire and Cumbria.
