Nuclear

Some projects require specialised solutions, and few environments demand reliability and effectiveness like nuclear demolition and decommissioning. Brokk robots are perfectly suited for this challenging work.

Some projects demand more than conventional solutions. At Brokk, we combine world-class engineering, innovative design, and unmatched service to deliver results in the most challenging environments. With thousands of robots in operation worldwide, Brokk has become synonymous with safety, quality, and efficiency.

Since the 1980s, Brokk has supported nuclear decommissioning projects across the globe. Decades of experience have given us unrivaled expertise in delivering tailor-made solutions for this highly specialised field.

Some previous projects:

  • Sellafield UK
  • Idaho Falls USA
  • Chernobyl Ukraine
  • Trawsfynydd UK
  • Fukushima Japan
  • Berkeley UK
  • Portsmouth USA
  • Hanford USA
  • JEN Germany
  • Vattenfall Sweden

Few environments require remote operation as critically as nuclear facilities. Here, Brokk robots are the trusted choice for decommissioning tasks, offering precision, safety, and reliability across four key areas:

  • Dismantling and size reduction
  • Sorting waste material
  • Decontamination
  • Demolition

Every Brokk robot is engineered with unique features that set it apart from traditional demolition equipment. Compact and versatile, our robots reach places inaccessible to people and other machines—without compromising on power.

With remote-controlled operation, a flexible three-arm system, and an electric motor delivering powerful, quiet, and emission-free performance, Brokk robots redefine what is possible within the nuclear and decommissioning industry. Built for adaptability, each robot can be customised by our engineers to meet the specific needs of your project.

A Brokk robot is always robust, reliable, and ready for the task at hand.

Brokk robots support a broad range of attachments. This versatility covers every stage of decommissioning, including cutting stainless steel tanks, removing contaminated concrete, demolishing structures, and grinding concrete. With the right tool for each task, operators maximise efficiency, minimise downtime, and adapt to project demands.

Mission segments

  • Remote operations

    In nuclear decommissioning, work often takes place in areas unsafe or inaccessible for personnel. Brokk robots are built for these environments, with features such as extended working range, integrated cameras, remote tool change, and advanced cable management. Operators control the robots from dedicated workstations with precision and safety, while features such as maintenance-free bearings and long service intervals further reduce the need for human presence in hazardous zones.

  • Evacuation solutions

    Prepared for every scenario, Brokk robots can be equipped with recovery systems, towing and lifting solutions, and fail-safe release systems, ensuring safe evacuation in case of emergency.

  • Radiation protection

    For nuclear projects, Brokk robots can be configured with shielded electronic components and radiation-tolerant cameras, providing the durability and resilience required in high-radiation environments.
