LASER ABLATION IN NUCLEAR DECONTAMINATION

With more than 440 nuclear power plants currently operating worldwide and 50 new plants currently under construction, there’s a rapidly growing need for nuclear decontamination processes. The costs to maintain and decommission these sites are often high and are extremely challenging to sustain. Laser ablation offers a more affordable alternative to media blasting and other traditional radiological decontamination processes due to its lack of secondary cleanup, environmental and operator friendliness, and low operating costs.

 

BENEFITS OF LASER CLEANING FOR NUCLEAR DECONTAMINATION

  • Avoids equipment contamination using simple techniques
  • Safe way to remove lead-based paints
  • Capable of cleaning a wide range of materials
  • Does not create radiological mixed waste
  • Offers a new option to reduce dose rates
  • Decontamination factor of up to 100%
  • Reduces fixed and loose surface contamination
  • Excellent for cleaning and surface prep for NDI testing
  • Nearly zero harm to base material and surrounding equipment
  • Produces a pure, clean surface for metal-to-metal contact for welding

Our laser cleaning systems can be handheld or automated making them ideal for on-site applications in the field as well as robotic, industrial setups. From helping to conduct hot tests in Fukushima, Japan after the devastating earthquake in 2011, to creating the gantry-based laser systems for fully automated decontamination, us and our partners at cleanLASER have years of experience in nuclear decontamination.
