Spanish firm Universe Drone is to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to measure nuclear radioactivity during the forthcoming dismantling of the National Company of Radioactive Waste. Sensors built into the UAVs allow them to take static and dynamic readings of the whole plant, a role once undertaken by human operators. Universe Drone's chief engineer, Jesús García, was chosen to develop the project by the José Cabrera Nuclear Power Plant. Upon completion of the project, he plans to focus on agriculture, using sensors for 3D precision mapping and thermal imaging to allow for precision farming.
