I first heard about robotic suits around 1961 in a science fiction novel, Starship Troopers. The infantry in the novel wore metal suits that amplified their strength and protected them from harm. Over the years, a lot of money has been poured into exoskeletons which are pieces of equipment that can be strapped on the body to amplify strength.
Ambient office = 89 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 88 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 86 nanosieverts per hour
The U.S. nuclear industry is not doing well. The U.S. had about one hundred nuclear reactors in operation for the commercial generation of electric power. Six reactors have been retired in the past few years and there are plans to retire another sixteen reactors in the next ten years. Attempts to build two new reactors in South Carolina have collapses.
Ambient office = 93 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 118 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 121 nanosieverts per hour
The Thorp nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at Sellafield, Cumbria, in the U.K. has been closed. No more spent nuclear fuel will be reprocessed there. Now the plant will undergo decommissioning which will require decades and billions of dollars. In order to successfully and safely dismantle and decontaminate the plant, it will be necessary to develop some new technology.
Ambient office = 106 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 103 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 99 nanosieverts per hour
