Nuclear

Advanced Sensing for the Nuclear Sector

The nuclear sector presents some of the most demanding analytical and operational challenges across industry. Whether supporting the development of future fusion energy technologies or enabling the safe decommissioning of legacy nuclear facilities, accurate measurement and reliable data are essential.

IS-Instruments develops advanced Raman spectroscopy and optical sensing technologies that provide real-time insight in environments where conventional measurement techniques may be impractical, costly or unsafe. Our systems are designed to operate in challenging conditions, helping organisations improve safety, increase efficiency and reduce operational risk.

Nuclear Fusion

Fusion energy has the potential to provide a low-carbon, sustainable source of power for future generations.

As fusion technologies move from research programmes towards commercial deployment, there is an increasing need for robust analytical systems to support reactor operations and monitor complex fuel cycles.

Advanced Gas Analysis for Fusion Energy

IS-Instruments is developing advanced Raman-based gas-analysis technologies that provide real-time insights into fusion fuel-cycle processes.

Our work enables accurate monitoring of key gas species, including hydrogen isotopes, helping researchers and commercial developers better understand, control and optimise reactor performance.

By delivering rapid, non-destructive analysis without the need for consumables or complex sample preparation, our technologies are helping to overcome critical measurement challenges in the commercialisation of fusion energy.

Key Areas

  • Fusion fuel cycle monitoring
  • Tritium measurement and analysis
  • Gas composition monitoring
  • Real-time process control
  • Reactor operations support

Nuclear Decommissioning

The safe decommissioning of nuclear facilities often requires measurements to be taken in hazardous, inaccessible or contaminated environments.

Traditional inspection methods can expose personnel to unnecessary risk and may generate additional contaminated waste.

Remote Sensing for Safer Decommissioning

IS-Instruments develops remote sensing and stand-off measurement technologies that enable critical data to be collected from a safe distance.

By reducing the need for direct human intervention, these systems help minimise operator exposure and support more efficient decommissioning activities.

Our technologies enable rapid identification and characterisation of materials, supporting decision-making throughout decommissioning projects and helping organisations reduce costs, improve safety and minimise waste.

Key Areas

  • Remote material identification
  • Stand-off Raman spectroscopy
  • Hazardous environment monitoring
  • Waste characterisation
  • Operator risk reduction
  • Decommissioning process support
