Today, specialists from all over Europe are meeting in Marcoule, invited by CEA Marcoule, to work on the project XS-ABILITY, funded by the Horizon Europe EURATOM program. This project seeks to develop new ways to make the decommissioning of nuclear facilities safer, more efficient and more sustainable.
They are currently developing robots designed to assist in the testing phase of the project. These robots can make the work of dismantling nuclear facilities safer for people and more efficient. The demonstration in Marcoule will allow them to be tested before being used in real situations.
The XS-ABILITY project brings together entities from France, Spain, Norway, Finland, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland, reflecting an international approach to tackling this challenge.
Spain has a key role in this project thanks to the DEVELOPIA FOUNDATION, which not only participates in its development, but is also responsible for communicating its progress and achievements. Its work is essential for the solutions developed to reach experts, policy makers and society in general. Developia’s participation demonstrates Spain’s commitment to research and development of new technologies for nuclear decommissioning.
Today’s visit and the discussions in Marcoule represent a major step towards safer and smarter nuclear decommissioning, contributing to a more sustainable future.
