A pioneer in the final disposal of nuclear fuel trusts Insta

Posiva has been developing a solution for the final disposal of nuclear fuel for more than 40 years and excavates deposition tunnels at a depth of 400–450 m underground. Soon, unmanned vehicles will move inside the tunnels and transport uranium assemblies encapsulated in a copper canister. The expert organization is the first in the world to start final disposal operations, and it relies on Insta in automation. Insta participates in the project in many ways – most importantly via the automation systems that it delivers.
