Remote handling from fusion research
While studying the viability of building a full-scale fusion reactor, experts at JET - the Joint European Torus - developed a remote handling technology which enabled scientists to enter the fusion simulator and maintain the inside of the device from a distant control room. The technology was developed further under a EURATOM licence by engineers at Oxford Technologies Ltd. (OTL) who are applying this expertise in other fields such as high energy physics, nuclear decommissioning and medical applications.
