During March 2022, LD-SAFE project technical aspects and progress were presented to the Advisory Board. Two sessions were performed: 

• 08th of March 2022: WP2 – Laboratory trials and calculations, and WP3 – Protection of the workers and environment. 
• 15th of March 2022: WP4 – Safety assessment, and WP5 – Case studies / Demonstrator. 

Thanks to the Advisory Board for their fruitful participation, and thanks all for the worthwhile presentations and discussions.

2021 was full of events where LD-SAFE participated actively.

2022 will surely bring new project results. Hope to see you this year!

The LD-SAFE project is progressing towards its defined objectives, having the two first milestones completed:

• Milestone 1: Agreement on the specifications for the dismantling of reactor components. It created a base for the specification of laboratory tests and calculations, safety assessments, and the demonstrator.
• Milestone 2: Completion of qualification activities in the Technology Qualification Plan. The plan identifies main technology maturity and integration risks and the actions to address them along the project for achieving technology goals.

Efforts are now focused on achieving next project milestones: laboratory tests, safety assessment, demonstrator, and project workshop.

LD-SAFE project will be presented the 1st of December at 9.30am in a WNE public workshop.

We will be pleased to have technical discussions with the participants. Stay informed, since the detailed agenda will be available shortly.

LD-SAFE was presented at the SFEN conference (DEM 2021) on September 16th by our project coordinator, Damien Roulet.
