Is this enough to help with decommissioning damaged nuclear reactors? Early attempts to get some kind of remotely operated vehicle inside the Fukushima reactors failed. Radiation damaged the electronics too much within hours.[1] Recently there have been pictures from the inside from a new radiation-hardened remotely operated submersible.[2] (It's not looking good. The new pictures are the first ones from down near the base of the reactor, which had control rod machinery below it. Much of the concrete support is missing. All this is underwater, with seawater corrosion.)
TID was never the issue, there are COTS processors that cost 0.01x the price of rad hard components, and can withstand megarads easily. Embedded TMR is where it's at
