Nuclear decommissioning creates an unusual training challenge. Much of the work is effectively one-off. Facilities change continuously as plant is characterised, cleaned, dismantled and removed, and the task that must be performed may have little precedent. In this environment, practising repeatedly on the real asset may be impractical or impossible. Bespoke Virtual Reality (VR) can create a digital rehearsal environment before personnel or equipment enter the facility. Augmented Reality (AR) can then potentially assist authorised personnel with contextual information as decommissioning progresses.

Installing new semiconductor manufacturing equipment is a complex coordination exercise involving specialist engineers, facility services, strict procedures and tight production programmes. VR can allow installation teams to rehearse the work before arrival, while AR can provide contextual guidance during physical installation and commissioning.

A significant proportion of risk in critical infrastructure emerges not during steady-state operation, but when something changes. New equipment is commissioned. Existing plant is maintained. Capacity is added. Electrical configurations change. Cooling systems are modified. A new data hall becomes operational. Each intervention creates a period where personnel must interact with complex infrastructure while maintaining service continuity. Bespoke VR and AR can help operations teams prepare for those interventions before the first physical change takes place.

Hydrogen infrastructure presents a compelling immersive-training use case because technicians must combine conventional mechanical and electrical competence with technology-specific procedures involving gas systems, controlled environments, detection equipment and emergency response. As hydrogen activity develops alongside other clean-energy infrastructure, organisations will require technicians who can operate confidently without becoming casual about unfamiliar hazards. VR can provide a controlled environment in which those behaviours are developed before live exposure. AR can subsequently support technicians with equipment-specific information during inspections and maintenance.

Electrical commissioning brings together inspection, testing, documentation and fault resolution at precisely the stage when project schedules are under pressure. VR allows commissioning teams and apprentices to rehearse project-specific processes before arriving on site, while AR can surface drawings, asset information and checklists beside the equipment being commissioned.
