HOW RAIN WILL BENEFIT
THE ECONOMY, PEOPLE,
SOCIETY AND JOBS
Benefitting the economy
RAIN will benefit the UK economy by
improving nuclear industry productivity and
reducing the cost of decommissioning the
UK's nuclear legacy sites.
Then, by extending its research to cover
non-nuclear applications, the programme
will ultimately create a vibrant commercial
market for RAI technologies across
the world.
Benefitting people and society
By facilitating remote inspection, RAIN's
technologies will bring about major
improvements to nuclear health and safety.
It will do this by reducing significantly –
and hopefully eliminating altogether – the
exposure of people working in the industry
to radiation and other hazards.
Remote inspection will also have the
potential to improve the life-span of the
UK's existing nuclear reactor fleet,
helping to secure the country 's future
energy provision.
