VR Training for Nuclear Facilities: Rehearsing Radiological Work Before Entering the Controlled Area

In nuclear operations, some of the most valuable training can take place before a worker goes anywhere near the real plant. Radiological areas may involve tightly controlled access, limited working time, specialised PPE, unfamiliar layouts and procedures where deviations can have serious consequences. Bespoke Virtual Reality (VR) training provides nuclear operators with an opportunity to recreate these environments digitally and allow personnel to rehearse Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) repeatedly before undertaking the real task. Augmented Reality (AR) can then provide carefully controlled contextual support during appropriate field activities.
