As part of Digital Catapult, I co-led the design and delivery of Sellafield DLT Field Lab, which report (Harnessing the Power of Distributed Ledger Technology) is out and that you can download it here.
Have a read to find out how Digital Catapult and Sellafield Ltd alongside their nuclear industry partners the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Magnox Ltd, Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR), and Radioactive Waste Management (RWA), have tangibly and successfully explored how distributed ledger and ssi (self-sovereign identity) could help with nuclear decommissioning.
Congrats to RKVST, Inc and Condatis who have demonstrated the relevance of their respective DLT based solutions in nuclear waste management tracking and worker credentialing .
This report accounts for the success of our Field Lab methodology in supporting traditional sectors to adopt new technology, and conduct meaningful experiments with innovative suppliers from the startups and scaleups ecosystem.
Abstract:
“The nuclear sector presents an exciting opportunity to implement advanced digital technologies for driving operational improvements and cultural transformation.
Our DLT Field Labs showed how some of the challenges that seemed perplexing at the start of our journey have been deciphered through innovation and collaboration.
As we embark on our mission to aid the post pandemic sector recovery by implementing new and advanced digital solutions, such highly regulated sectors will pave the way in generating the essential learning outcomes that can be exploited on a cross-sector basis throughout the UK economy.”
