Spanish firm Universe Drone is to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to measure nuclear radioactivity during the forthcoming dismantling of the José Cabrera Nuclear Power Plant. Sensors built into the UAVs allow them to take static and dynamic readings of the whole plant, a role once undertaken by human operators. The company will be using its drones for this purpose in order to monitor radiation levels at all stages of decommissioning operations, from initial testing through decommissioning. 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.
