A Cumbrian nuclear engineering company, which provides solutions to some of the world’s most challenging environmental threats, is hosting is hosting its first tech demo day on Weds (Sept 7th).
Barrnon, which won the Queens award for Innovation in 2021, has won a series of high profile contracts in the nuclear decommissioning space – both here in the UK and in the US. The event will give people a sneak preview of its latest concepts, designs and iterations as it builds out its portfolio. CTO George Sewell said: “Technology continues to evolve at speed. Here at Barrnon we believe in solving complex environmental problems and thinking outside the box to provide a faster, cheaper, safer solution.
“I’m confident you will see things you didn’t think possible that help nuclear decommissioning solve its latest challenges.”
Barrnon, which is based in Appleby, solves problems by making waste boxes and modular robotics, primarily for the nuclear decommissioning industry.
It is a recognised innovative design and build engineering business.
It has created the Barrnon Limited Innovative Sort and Segregate System (BLISSS) — a concept that takes what human operatives do during nuclear decommissioning and replaces them with an artificial system — with the ability to sort and segregate nuclear wastes.
The key guiding principle of BLISSS is that the system is biomimetic — it is a synthetic system that emulates the strategy, tactics and techniques of biological organisms – nuclear operatives – doing the same task.
The demo will include an introduction to its latest technology offering including IIND – which is going in site to Sellafield — a site tour and a demo of its robotic tech.
