Sellafield Ltd announced on 10 September 2026 that it was marking a decade of its Game Changers programme, which brings outside ideas and technology to nuclear clean-up challenges. The company said the programme is designed and delivered by innovation specialists FIS360 in partnership with the United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory (UKNNL).

According to the announcement, Game Changers has received more than 1,000 applications from organisations worldwide, funded more than 300 feasibility studies and enabled over 125 proof-of-concept projects. Examples cited included a micro drone able to fly through openings as narrow as 140mm, an imaging system that overlays radiation data on live video, and sensors monitoring temperature and pressure in nuclear storage cans. Sellafield said the programme had helped improve safety and save money.

Robin Ibbotson, Sellafield Ltd's chief technology officer, said the approach had produced solutions the company would not have found alone. The next decade is to focus on scaling up successful technologies, speeding up deployment and attracting more innovators.
