Do you want to learn about the implementation of the promising laser cutting technology in reactor environment?

The online training course, Laser Cutting for Nuclear Reactor Dismantling, is free and readily available. It provides technical details of laser cutting and its state-of-the-art for the segmentation of the reactor pressure vessel and internals. Get ready for a step forward in future decommissioning projects.

👉 You may reach contact@ldsafe.eu to be registered in the course.

The final LD-SAFE press release is now available, summarizing main project outcomes. Feel free to download it here: LD-SAFE – 4th Press release, June 2024.

After four years of great efforts, you may find most relevant public deliverables in our project website. Among others, you may find the laser cutting guidelines, generic safety assessment, technical validation report, online training course, and technical workshop report.

After four years of great efforts, LD-SAFE presents the most relevant project outcomes in the final project video.

The promising laser cutting technology is ready to address the challenges of the dismantling nuclear power reactors.

The guideline for the use of laser cutting in a reactor dismantling environment is now available to the public on the LD-SAFE project website (https://ldsafe.eu/project-deliverable/)! The revised version reflects the learnings from the in-air and underwater demonstrators.

This deliverable will guide future end users through key aspects of using safely the promising laser cutting technology.

The LD-SAFE Final Technical Workshop was held at Onet Technocenter during two sessions:

• May 30^th, with nuclear and industry stakeholders, operators, RTO, and TSO.
• May 31^st, with students, young graduates, industry stakeholders, and the public.

Main project achievements were presented and an underwater laser cutting demonstration was performed with a representative mock-up. The technology (in-air and underwater) is now mature to address future dismantling projects.

Thanks to all participants for their fruitful technical exchanges, as well as for the worthwhile presentations and discussions, and thanks to the European Commission to make this project feasible.

Final LD-SAFE project outcomes will be publicly available in the upcoming weeks, highlighting the laser cutting guidelines, online training course, and the demonstrator technical report. Keep posted!
