worry about robots taking work away from human beings, but there are a few jobs that even these sceptics admit most folk would not want. One is cleaning up radioactive waste, particularly when it is inside a nuclear power station—and especially if the power station in question has suffered a recent accident.
One problem with the robots dispatched into the ruins of Fukushima Daiichi was that they were not particularly clever. Most were operated by someone twiddling joysticks at a safe distance. Such machines are awkward to steer and their arms are tricky to move accurately when viewed via a video screen. Dr Stolkin reckons the answer is to equip them with artificial intelligence , so that they can operate autonomously.
A human being would remain in overall control of the process via a motorised joystick that exerts forces on the operator’s hand similar to those he or she would feel by actually grasping the object. But although the operator still uses the joystick to move the robot’s arm to carry out a particular task, it is thewhich takes care of the details. It makes sure the arm swings in exactly the right direction and picks things up properly.
A lot of this is found at one of the most hazardous industrial sites in Europe, Sellafield, also in north-west England. Sellafield began producing plutonium for bombs in 1947. In 1956 the world’s first commercial-sized civil nuclear power station opened there. The site went on to become a centre for reprocessing nuclear fuel. Cleaning up Sellafield’s decaying buildings and nuclear-waste storage facilities will take decades. Robots with autonomous abilities would greatly hurry that process along.
I don’t want robots who are certainly going to be mistreated to be essentially supplied with nuclear waste materials. Why are we making it so easy for them to take us down We all know where this ends!
Sure
gosh haven't any of you seen Godzilla? We know how this ends. Send in robots who are exposed to huge amounts of radiation...we'll get a 60 story irradiated robot who is hell bent on our destruction.
A conversão atômica dos resíduos de megalópoles, que constituem um dos principais problemas urbanos, deverá ser um processo de manutenção ambiental evidente para qualquer administração governamental.⏱️
Waiting for the lefties to create a Union for Robots. Equal rights and all that jazz haha 😂

Thanks
We saw what happened to the lunar rovers in Chernobyl serial. Automation has its limitations.
alllibertynews Does anyone seriously believe robots could have done what the scientists did at Windscale, Chernobyl, 3 Mile Island or Fukushima? Robots, like their advocates, will never have Common Sense..
That goes without saying.
alllibertynews If you think Co2 is dangerous (it is what plants use to grow) then wait until radiation leaks from nuclear reactors! Co2 is used to increase plant growth in Greenhouses. Radiation had no other use... 3 Mile Island Windscale Chernobyl Fukushima All cost 30x + original estimates
Russians disagree.
SushmaSwaraj TheHinduScience elonmusk zannymb rama_rajeswari It will worsen even more in the future. I have got legal basis and platform to keep speaking and agitating whatever want, now. Even GoI has not answered my RTI still ensuring that freedom and right to go nuts.

This why should have pushed renewables after the 1978 oil embargo. It is the patriotic thing to do.
Or you reuse the 'waste' in gen 4 reactors subschneider
You are kidding us. The Answer is NO! USA TheResistanceRises DontWorkForSkynet StopSkynet JohnConnor TheResistance
Giving up nuclear generators is an obvious task for humanbeings.
How do you say 'I didn't sign up for this shit' in binary?
But too much roentgen kills the robots circuits
Obviously consistent with modern technology. Built obsolescence.
:(
We do have robots for that sort of thing. Does not mean I want to condone a surgical nuclear strike. Nuclear power plant , sure. But remember each one of those raises the ocean temperature a bit. So how do we come up with a better cooling / insulation system.
