Magnox Corporation – UK

 “Weda’s custom-designed solution allowed us to clean sensitive nuclear fuel tanks remotely and safely.”
— Project Engineer, Magnox UK

Magnox is a key player in the UK’s nuclear decommissioning industry, managing legacy sites and storage facilities. Many of these sites include aging fuel ponds, decontamination tanks, and storage basins that require meticulous sediment removal to comply with regulatory frameworks. Due to radioactive contamination and limited structural access, manual cleaning is typically prohibited. Magnox employs robotic cleaning platforms to perform these tasks safely and thoroughly, helping extend facility lifespan and supporting long-term decommissioning objectives in the UK’s nuclear sector.

The Challenge

 Magnox needed to remove radioactive sediment from fuel pipe holding tanks — all without human entry, draining, or radiation exposure.

The Weda Solution


 Weda developed and delivered a custom-designed robot based on the N600 platform, specifically engineered for narrow tank access and remote operation. The unit met all nuclear safety and technical standards.
