Know exactly where to act and the conditions you will face before entering an asset

Sending an inspection team to assess the conditions of an asset is not only dangerous but also time-consuming and expensive.

By deploying the Elios 3 RAD instead, you can collect visual, LiDAR, and radiometric data without having to send humans or install expensive and inefficient radiation-hardened cameras. This means no unnecessary radiation exposure for personnel and improved operational efficiency. With the data collected by the Elios 3 RAD, you can understand if you need to intervene and know exactly where and how to act.

APPLICATIONS

A practical solution for all kinds of visual inspections

boiler-icon

Mechanical integrity analysis

Undertake drone-based inspections of turbine rooms, cooling towers, condensers, cranes, and other areas of nuclear power plants.

gear-icon

Preventive maintenance

Get a quick overview and evaluation of the condition of an asset to improve maintenance planning, resulting in reduced maintenance-related downtime and costs.

TESTIMONIALS

Trusted by over 80% of nuclear power plants in the US, the Elios was a game changer for the nuclear industry across the globe

“At Exelon [now Constellation Clearsight], we have realized significant safety improvements and cost-reductions using the Elios to perform indoor asset inspections at our facilities. We feel this is a valuable asset every generating station should have on-hand.”
COLBEY RYAN
Co-founder, Constellation Clearsight
“The speed of drone deployment is incredibly high: we can deploy rapidly and we have pilots on-call at all times. We can streamline safety inspections by using drones, and in cases where we use drones to scout an area prior to a person entering, we have better situational awareness. The data is almost immediately available and ready to empower decision-making. [...] We found that using UAVs over traditional methods was helping us to save around £5 million per year.”
AMANDA SMITH
UAV Equipment Programme Manager, Sellafield
“Indoor inspection drones provide US Department of Energy contractors with a new capability for safely and efficiently addressing the unique challenges associated with decommissioning and cleaning up nuclear test reactors and Cold War legacy sites.”
KEVIN YOUNG
Indoor Inspection Drone Program Lead, US Department of Energy
