Radiation‑hardened Wi‑Fi chip survives 500 kGy for nuclear plant decommissioning robots

When a nuclear plant reaches the end of its life or is damaged, it must be decommissioned. This process can take more than 20 years and includes decontamination, dismantling, and handling radioactive materials so the site can be reused. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, almost half of the 423 nuclear power reactors in operation today are expected to enter decommissioning by 2050.
