Both organisations have similar pipe and vessel infrastructure and are collaborating via Game Changers. This challenge will be administered though the Game Changers programme and advertised on their website during November and December 2020. A challenge statement published on the website will provide a detailed overview of the challenge and Sellafield Ltd and DSRL's technical requirements along with any constraints and restrictions. An online workshop will be held on the 9th December 2020 where Sellafield Ltd and DSRL will further describe the challenge. Details of the workshop will be shared on the Game Changers website.
