- Funded under EPSRC ‘Extreme Environments’ (EP/P018505/1, GBP1.2M) and the ISCF RAIN Hub (EP/R026084/1, GBP12.2M) proposal calls, this paper and its discovery concerning the angular sensitivity of the imager were both cited in, and were instrumental in the award of, a further EPSRC responsive-mode grant ‘ALACANDRA’ (EP/V026941/1, GBP1.5M). Awarded December 2020, this is led by Lancaster, with Manchester University, RIC, Dounreay, Sellafield, NNL, JAEA (Japan) and Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (Greece), drawing on prior art from the University of Ottawa Institute of Technology (Canada). Leading international technology company, Clearpath Robotics, have recently highlighted the significance of the work (https://clearpathrobotics.com/blog/2021/02/research-team-reduces-human-risk-in-nuclear-environments-through-remote-inspection/).”
