That's why it will probably take the best part of a century I reckon to fix
this problem.
Just wow.
But a question -- you say you won't use a ROV. But you say wireless is hard and autonomy is too hard. So that leaves what?

A lot of nuclear providers are against people using wireless as if you lose connectivity and it gets stuck you are in trouble. Also we are going to use a manipulator arm more than likely. Manipulator arms are cheaper and more widely used in our industry.

Your idea would be perfect if we were just doing an inspection, however we have other work we will need to do down there which will require various packages so it has to be somewhat bulkier.
