Sellafield nuclear waste retrieval

CCTV for the robots emptying Sellafield’s legacy waste silos.

Nuclear & high security CCTV

The Sellafield site: a large steel dome, chimneys and cooling towers

For over 50 years, the nuclear waste silos at Sellafield have held some of the most hazardous waste in Europe. Because of what they contain, they are being emptied with remote-controlled robotic equipment. The whole project is valued at $750 million.

CCTV to oversee the robotic equipment

Centurion was chosen as a supply partner to design and build the CCTV system that operators use to oversee the remote-controlled robotic equipment. The ITV News report shows the site and the nature of the work.

It was a major and complex system, built to the very high standards the site requires. Bechtel describes the wider programme on its Sellafield silo retrievals page.
