LD-SAFE project was presented by P. Daguin (Onet Technologies), I. Doyen (CEA), and P. François (IRSN) the 1^st of March in the Waste Management 2023 Conference (Phoenix). Thank you very much to those present, including our EC Project Officer, for their participation. If you did not attend the conference, check for LD-SAFE in upcoming events.

The paper «European collaborative efforts to achieve effective, safe, and cost-controlled dismantling of nuclear facilities» is now available:

LD-SAFE project was presented by P. Daguin (Onet Technologies) and I. Doyen (CEA) the 1st of December in the NEA Workshop on Innovative Techniques and Technologies to Support Characterisation and Decommissioning of Complex and Legacy Sites.

Thanks to all the participants. If you did not attend the NEA Workshop, check for LD-SAFE in upcoming events.

The LD-SAFE second General Assembly Meeting took place on October 5^th, 2022, at Tecnatom premises. We were delighted to meet in person and have worthwhile presentations and discussions. As the Group of Experts indicated, “while lasers are now widely used in industry, nuclear facilities have some additional risks that require to be understood before the technology can be deployed. The LD-SAFE project is making great progress in quantifying these issues and determining the operating parameters for its safe use, which should allow the early widespread adoption of the technology”.

On September 28th, LD-SAFE was presented in the Spanish Nuclear Society annual event (SNE 2022), focusing on the safety evaluations performed within the project.

Thanks to all the participants, and if you did not attend SNE 22, check for LD-SAFE in upcoming events.

Do you want to know more about the progress, main activities and next steps of the laser cutting project for dismantling of nuclear reactors? You can see in this video the details of the LD-SAFE project:

The second LD-SAFE press release is now available, which contains the project progress. Feel free to download it here: LD-SAFE – 2nd Press release, June 2022

During June 2022, LD SAFE was invited (ONET as coordinator) by the Inno4graph project to have an overview of the Inno4graph project progress and to exchange with the Consortium participants. During this event, we introduced shortly LD-SAFE project. Laser Cutting Technology is in the scope of INNO4GRAPH, for dismantling Graphite reactors. So, our attendance participated in the enhancement of the synergy of our both H2020 projects.

Thanks to INNO4GRAPH for their invitation.
