Procedure rationaleNational Nuclear Laboratory ("NNL") intends to award a contract to Sensor Driven Ltd who will further develop the concept of Wireless, long-term environmental monitoring of nuclear stores as part of the Gamechangers Innovation Programme. The aim of this proof of concept project is to create and demonstrate key scientific components of a future environmental sensor for use in nuclear stores. The ultimate goal is to produce a sensor system that will last up to 30 years, monitoring temperature and corrosion indicators. Data will be wirelessly transmitted to operators, with an instant alert if levels exceed defined thresholds.
Sensor Driven Ltd were selected through a response to a Gamechangers Challenge Statement which sought applications for feasibility funding. This was advertised in an Early Engagement Notice via Contracts Finder on 29th November 2023 https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/79dcbeea-899a-4142-b812-4ad1ea06edb2?origin=SearchResults&p=1 published via https://www.gamechangers.technology/challenge/Wireless,_long-term_environmental_monitoring_of_nuclear_stores
Following all supplier applications for feasibility funding for the above project, Sensor Driven Ltd were selected as a successful supplier by the funders, Sellafield Ltd. An initial £10,000 of feasibility funding was provided in January 2024, which supported Sensor Driven Ltd to:
• Create a Business Case
• Generate of a Project Plan of milestones and future funding requirements, and
• Create a Risk Register.
The output of this feasibility study was then further evaluated by Sellafield Ltd and Sensor Driven Ltd have been selected for additional funding for the Proof-of-Concept phase of this project, which will enable them to further develop this concept and technology further. This additional funding to support technology development is due to be awarded following the expiry of this VEAT notice.
Gamechangers is an innovation programme which finds solutions for complex nuclear industry challenges and allows the supplier to retain ownership of the Intellectual Property throughout the advancement of technology readiness level. They accept applications and work with all sizes and across all sectors to identify and develop the most promising of technology.
