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.

You can keep posted on the upcoming events in our social media.

The first LD-SAFE press release is now available, which contains a summary of the project objectives and its organization. Feel free to download it here: LD-SAFE – 1st Press release, May 2021

A videoconference meeting was held on March 26^th with the Expert Group, the Consortium and the Project Officer.

During the meeting, the LD-SAFE progress and results from questionnaires of the End User Group were presented, allowing for fruitful technical discussions.

The first technical workshop with the End User Group was held in a Webinar format with the active participation of around 40 members of different European organizations with interest in the laser technology and its application on the decommissioning of nuclear reactors.

Project Kick of Meeting was held the 1^st of July.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the meeting was successfully carry out by videoconference.

With participants from the six partners and the European Commission the meeting marked the launching off the LD-SAFE project.
