SwRI Engineers Will Be Developing Drones To Inspect Fukushima Nuclear Power Station

San Antonio-based Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is developing UAS technology capable of flying into the damaged units at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power stations. The SwRI engineers are looking to adapt small UAS to autonomously operate within the containment.

“This is a formidable challenge,” says Project Manager Dr. Monica Garcia, a senior research engineer in SwRI’s intelligent systems division. The conditions inside the containment are the most challenging.

“The team is adapting high-speed, advanced mobility drones to collect key information about the current status,” says Technical Lead Dr. Richard Garcia. “This information will play an important role in future decontamination and decommission efforts at Fukushima Daiichi.”
